Despite public health measures and collective efforts, millions of individuals have unfortunately died from COVID-19 complications worldwide, leaving several million family members at risk of developing bereavement complications. In the Canadian province of Quebec, where substantial deaths were associated with COVID-19, we established an online support community for bereaved caregivers who lost a loved one during the pandemic. We explain how we created a community that recognized pandemic grief and advocated for its wider acknowledgment. We discuss “compassionate communities,” the theoretical underpinning of our initiative, as a means to foster solidarity, normalize finitude, create and maintain a safe social space through group sharing, and challenging capitalist principles. We then describe the eight areas of activities inspired by the Charter of Pallium Canada: education and training, hospices and nursing homes, media and social media, commemoration, celebrations, artistic practices and storytelling, marginalized populations, and review and evaluate. We propose that online communities constitute a powerful space for community members to gather and advocate for greater awareness of the inequities found in end-of-life care and bereavement services, to denounce abusive situations experienced by many individuals who died from COVID-19 complications, and to fight against the lack of recognition experienced by numerous caregivers.

承认丧亲之痛，加强社区：引入在线富有同情心的社区倡议，以识别大流行的悲痛

尽管采取了公共卫生措施和集体努力，但不幸的是，全世界仍有数百万人死于 COVID-19 并发症，使数百万家庭成员面临罹患丧亲之痛的风险。在加拿大魁北克省，大量死亡与 COVID-19 相关，我们为在大流行期间失去亲人的失去亲人的护理人员建立了一个在线支持社区。我们解释了我们如何创建一个认识到大流行悲痛并倡导更广泛承认的社区。我们讨论“富有同情心的社区”，这是我们倡议的理论基础，作为促进团结、规范有限性、通过群体共享和挑战资本主义原则创造和维护安全社会空间的一种手段。然后，我们描述了受《加拿大钯宪章》启发的八个活动领域：教育和培训、临终关怀和疗养院、媒体和社交媒体、纪念、庆祝活动、艺术实践和讲故事、边缘化人群以及审查和评估。我们建议在线社区构成一个强大的空间，让社区成员聚集并倡导提高对临终关怀和丧亲服务中发现的不公平现象的认识，谴责许多死于 COVID-19 并发症的人所经历的虐待情况，并与众多护理人员所经历的缺乏认可作斗争。并审查和评估。我们建议在线社区构成一个强大的空间，让社区成员聚集并倡导提高对临终关怀和丧亲服务中发现的不公平现象的认识，谴责许多死于 COVID-19 并发症的人所经历的虐待情况，并与众多护理人员所经历的缺乏认可作斗争。并审查和评估。我们建议在线社区构成一个强大的空间，让社区成员聚集并倡导提高对临终关怀和丧亲服务中发现的不公平现象的认识，谴责许多死于 COVID-19 并发症的人所经历的虐待情况，并与众多护理人员所经历的缺乏认可作斗争。
