Olive Tree Mortuary is your partner in navigating the loss of a loved one during the present crisis.
In the span of only a few weeks, the COVID-19 virus has changed virtually every aspect of our daily lives. At the time of this writing, almost 15,000 people in the United States are confirmed as having contracted this virus, and the number rises by the hour. This pandemic is not expected to be resolved quickly, and we must adapt and prepare for the coming months.
In addition to the health risks, economic consequences, and social constraints of the coronavirus pandemic that we are all experiencing, there are particular and unique challenges for people who are suffering the death of a loved one. While the vast majority of people who become sick as a result of coronavirus recover successfully, some persons who are infected die of complications of the virus. Importantly, while our national conversation is currently centering on coronavirus, families continue to experience the loss of loved ones through a variety of means and need particular support in navigating their grief in this unprecedented time.
If you have experienced the recent death of a loved one or wish to support someone who is grieving, it is important to be mindful of the unique challenges that the coronavirus pandemic poses both to mourning rituals and to the grief experience, particularly in light of the State of California's "Safer at Home" mandate.
