Why pandemic grief feels forbidden in the recovery narrative

I'm grieving my pre-pandemic life and the person I was before lockdown changed everything, but everyone says we should just move forward and be grateful it's over.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Collective trauma changes everyone permanently, but cultural pressure to celebrate survival silences mourning for what was lost.
