Abstract:

The world is under the squall of corona virus popularly known as COVID-19 which has ruptured the proximity among human beings. The higher-risk attached to this virus has created fear and anguish among people of different races. It has derailed the daily lives and caused immense damage especially the under-privileged and great unwashed. Despite the disruption caused, it can never destroy the spirited fight displayed by individuals and governments across the world. It is a pandemic, declared by The WHO which has caused panic among people. The consternation is mainly due to its devastating effect on human souls. The latest updates on the number of people perished in this pandemic show it all. However, among the dark clouds comes the silver lining which is hope for change, plod but strive for a come-back. In the words of Berinato, S. (March 23, 2020), that discomfort you’re feeling is grief, Harvard Business Review: Nothing causes more embitterment than the anxiety which is more to do with Anticipatory grief and isolation attached to this virus attack. A situation of anticipatory grief occurs when the mind moves from the current sate to the future state and where the scene in the future is wretched. The dilemma is such that we are clueless about what to do – should we turn to David Kessler (Globally acclaimed Expert on grief), or let move to religious scholars, maybe a motivational speaker for calmness.
