BBC World Service - BBC OS Conversations, Coronavirus: Young widows

Women who have founded a support group after losing their husbands to Covid-19

A group of women who have founded a support group after losing their husbands to Covid-19.

Each Covid-19 death has a tremendous personal impact on loved ones. Host Nuala McGovern talks to three women who have lost their husbands to the disease. Their Facebook group 'Young Widows and Widowers of Covid-19’ is supporting others in the same situation. They call it “the club that nobody wants to join”.
 
We also hear from three people in South Africa, Australia and the US who share the unexpected social consequences - both positive and negative - of wearing face masks when you have a facial disfigurement or difference.
