The covid pandemic (including the covid virus and its complications) killed between 3 to 7 million people, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). This unique book includes 19 chapters by an international cast of authors, addressing aspects of loss and trauma connected to the virus, including covid and posttraumatic stress, covid and love, covid and bereaved families, covid and ageism, and covid and world orderliness.

A central theme in this volume is the attempt by scholars and practitioners to include chapters that can provide hope in the midst of a sense of global darkness that accompanied the burgeoning spread of the virus in 2020. It explores a range of covid-related topics that bear on loss and trauma. The book is a valuable read for scholars and students researching on and dealing with trauma, as well as by practitioners working with clients who have covid-related problems. The book will also benefit general readers interested in impacts of the pandemic on loss and trauma.

The chapters in this book were originally published as two special issues in Journal of Loss and Trauma.
