Some of the HBR edit staff met virtually the other day - a screen full of faces in a scene becoming more common everywhere. We talked about the content we’re commissioning in this harrowing time of a pandemic and how we can help people. But we also talked about how we were feeling. One colleague mentioned that what she felt was grief. Heads nodded

Our primitive mind knows something bad is happening, but you can’t see it. This breaks our sense of safety. We’re feeling that loss of safety.

That's exactly right. This is a wonderful read, thank you for posting it.

Yes, I think the author put it very well. And I was interested to read about "meaning" as the 6th stage of grief as well, having studied Kubler-Ross's theory.

You're most welcome! The credit goes to lindahoyland; she showed me this article.
