Among the 40 bereavement groups offered by Stephy’s Place in Red Bank, NJ, is one for those people mourning family members who died of COVID-19. The groups are customarily in person, but are virtual at present.
Stephy’s Place founder, Sheila Martello, understands the unusual aspects of grieving in the pandemic — no funeral, for instance — as she lost her husband in the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, reports News 12 staff.
