| Sumario: | Objective: to investigate the experience of mourning the death of people infected by COVID-19 in media publications. Methods: qualitative research, using concrete psychoanalytic psychology, in the study of reports from mourners, between March and May 2020, via Google. Results: Eight news reports and 13 personal accounts were listed, with impactful themes of loss of emotionally significant people who died due to COVID-19 or suspected of it. The psychoanalytic consideration of the material allowed the creation/finding of five categories of affective-emotional meaning, “Pain of loss”, “Pain of separation”, “Pain of neglect”, “Revealing the truth” and “Hurt and helpless”. Conclusion: the mourners experienced a double suffering in the COVID-19 pandemic, both for the loss of loved ones and for feeling socially neglected, including by government authorities, but, of these, few demonstrate awareness of negligence in the context of public health, demanding better social conditions. |
