BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, Dealing with grief

Losing loved ones, getting married in a lockdown and the risk to black Americans

Losing loved ones, getting married in a lockdown and the increased risk of Covid-19 to black Americans.

People around the world with shared experiences of living through the coronavirus pandemic come together and talk in conversation with Nuala McGovern.  Shaye in the US, Ana in Spain and Elliot in the UK remember the parents they have lost to Covid-19 and the impact it is having on their lives. 

African Americans in New York, Massachusetts and Georgia consider why black communities in the United States are suffering so much during this health emergency. While social distancing meant Liat and Amir in Israel and Emine and Jon in the UK had to rip up their original wedding plans and come up with new ways to get married.
