“Mesmo sem te ver, acho até que estou indo bem”: uma revisão integrativa acerca do processo de luto das famílias que perderam seus entes pela COVID-19

Abstract

The CoronaVirus Disease (COVID-19), in the face of so many deaths and universal anguish, comes to configure one of the deadliest epidemics, and, in view of the occurrence of mass deaths, it can generate diverse psychological implications, among them, the problem of mourning. It is known that grief is a natural process of human response to the loss of a loved object, however, some of these people may experience alternations of a type of grief called complicated. This research aimed to verify, through an integrative literature review, the scientific production on the grieving process of those who lost loved ones by the Coronavirus infection, addressing the particularities portrayed in the literature in relation to illness and death by COVID-19 and what are their consequent consequences in the experience of bereaved family members, such as the occurrence of complications in the grieving process.
