Abstract
How can we mourn the losses of 2020 and 2021 when, in 2022, these losses are ongoing? Is it possible for us to help our patients with something that continues to disrupt the ordinary for us all? This essay explores the impact of existential crises on our patients’ and our own ability to mourn within and outside analytic space.
