This article is a reflection of a palliative care chaplain’s experiences of supporting people through grief and loss during the COVID-19 pandemic. People have died without the support of loved ones present; funerals have been conducted in a very different manner to the usual practice; and many people’s experience of grief and bereavement has been challenging. The role of the chaplain is explored and discussed in relation to spiritual care provision. The author also acknowledges that the repercussions from COVID-19 have presented a challenge for many people who are grieving and experiencing bereavement.
