How to Grieve together in COVID Times

Welcome to another episode of http://www.theglamreaper.com/ (The Glam Reaper). I’m your host Jennifer, delighted to impart any and all knowledge and experiences through my podcast. Together with my special guests we talk about different aspects of life, love, loss, and also, funerals since that is the world I live in.  In today’s episode, we will be focusing more on grief. As we are all aware, thanks to the last 2 years with COVID, some of us experienced grief from a loss of a loved one due to COVID-19 and some were separated for a very long time because of lockdowns and travel bans. I speak with a gentleman living in Isral, Irad Eichler, who has a charity named Seven Chairs now called, https://circlesup.com/ (Circles) who wants to end the loneliness in the world. A big goal I think you will agree!! The interview started with how the charity started and all that it aims to do. A lot of people are facing grief with a loss of a loved one but loneliness comes with it also. It is a feeling that nobody knows what they are going through and it made them decide to aim to end loneliness. This is done through connecting people with the same life issues on their https://circlesup.com/ (platform). These sessions are led by professional facilitators. Clients who sign up will start to build meaningful connections and establish relationships with kindred spirits. As the interview progressed, Irad explained how https://circlesup.com/ (Circles) works and how social media can actually make the world even more lonely. The system Circles has built is protected for the people using it. They work with people suffering with anxiety, depression, dealing with chronic diseases, and so forth. Irad tells a beautiful story of how the platform brought a group together in real life and also how it can provide a support currently uncatered for but still online.
