Grief, Isolation, and COVID 19 with Dr. Swapna Vaidya Gennev: Let's talk about menopause

When most of us think of grief, we think of losing a loved one or the end of a relationship. Does it make sense to have a sense of grief in the coronavirus crisis, even if you haven't lost anyone?
According to psychiatrist Dr. Swapna Vaidya, yes. Grief is caused by loss, and many of us have lost at the very least a sense of security and our predictable routines. Others may have lost jobs, opportunities, and of course, loved ones.
But we're all in this together, and the potential for unity and for providing one another with support, globally, has never been greater. 
In this podcast, Dr. Swapna Vaidya speaks with Gennev Director of Health Coaching Stasi Kasianchuk about the nature and course of grief and how to be kinder to everyone going through it — including yourself.
Dr. Swapna Vaidya is a psychiatrist and Executive Medical Director in the MultiCare Health System.
