Stateside: Connection and grief in the time of COVID

Today on Stateside, we revisit how one year of pandemic life has changed our relationships — from close connections, to pod problems, to loved ones lost. A funeral director discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic impacted mourning in 2020. Then, a counselor and psychologist talk us through how pod life, solitude, and mental health challenges during the pandemic have affected the ways we interact with other people.[Get Stateside on your phone: subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Google Podcasts today.]
