Responding to the fear of dying alone during COVID-19 pandemic

Abstract

A recent correspondence published in this journal rightly argues the meaning of creative ritual practices during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Recent researches revealed the 'creative ways' to augment the need for spiritual and religious longing, complicated grief and different ways of coping with loss and coping mental health issues during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper further adds the ways on how to mitigate the reality of dying alone during COVID-19 pandemic.
