Obituary Writer Aims To Show How Coronavirus Impacts 'All People In Our Society'
Maureen O'Donnell of the Chicago Sun-Times says obituary writers aren't able to cover the life of each person who has died of COVID-19. But they do their best to tell "a variety of stories."
As the number of COVID-19 deaths continues its upward march, many of the rituals designed to help people navigate the loss of a loved one aren't possible.
One rite of grief that is still happening is the obituary. But with the sheer number of deaths, obituary writers can't write for more than a decade.
