Miscarriage and Loss During COVID-19
For most of us this year, we have missed the natural human psychosocial cues we give each other, which are the building blocks of empathy and awareness beyond the self.

Good Tuesday morning!
Nuclear talks begin in Vienna today, with diplomats from the U.K., France, Germany, Russia, China and Iran slated to hold a meeting chaired by the European Union. A U.S. delegation, headed by Special Envoy Rob Malley, will hold only indirect talks with Tehran.
Malley told NPR today that Iran has been “increasingly in noncompliance with their nuclear commitments,” and that Iran’s assertion that sanctions must be lifted before compliance is “not going to work that way.”
Israeli President Reuven Rivlinannounced today that he would hand the mandate to form the next government to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but declared that “no candidate has a realistic chance of forming a government that will have the confidence of the Knesset.”

We are all grieving right now.
Perhaps you’re one of the millions who has lost a loved one to the brutalities of Covid-19, or maybe you’re grieving another kind of loss: missed time with family and friends, a postponed wedding, a former job. Many of us have also grieved circumstances or deaths unrelated to the coronavirus each made even more difficult in the context of a pandemic.
