Özet: Although grief is a natural and normal reaction experienced after all changes, it can become a process that can lead to emotional compulsions, depending on the type and variety of the loss experienced, the personality characteristics of the person experiencing grief, and the coping methods. One of the processes that can be given as an example for the grief coming out of its natural structure and causing emotional strain is the Covid-19 outbreak. The Covid-19 epidemic, which has appeared in our country since March 2020, causes secondary losses due to the policies that include restrictions in daily life and the social consequences of the epidemic, and primary losses due to the death of patient’s due to the epidemic, and individuals may have difficulty coping with the grief caused by the epidemic. In this context, this study aims to discuss how psychosocial intervention can be carried out for individuals who suffer from loss after death due to the Covid-19 epidemic, in line with the literature on grief.
