This has given way to a grieving process that, although it is a normal process, in these times of confinement, the way in which this is experienced has been altered considerably, since there are unfinished things such as dismissing that close person by means of a ritual or religious ceremony, when seeing him for the last time and not having accompanied him while he was in his last moments of life, due to the health emergency that is experienced in these times. That is why, from positive psychology, it seeks to counteract these annoyances generated by the departure of a loved one and, therefore, make this mourning a little less painful, since this significantly affects people who have passed through a loss, generating diseases and problems depression.
