Five years since the world first shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, grievers are still asking: Where is the acknowledgment? In this powerful conversation with Modern Loss founder Rebecca Soffer, we talk about:

• Why COVID grief is still so raw for so many

• How good leadership supports—instead of minimizes—grieving people

• Our fantasy grief rituals to honor pandemic loss

• What meaningful acknowledgment could actually look like

• Why collective rituals still matter, even years later
