The Loss of Rituals

You are here: Home / Archive / Feature Stories / The Loss of Rituals
Published: May 17, 2020 by RHJ Producer

Spring is the season of rituals—prom, graduation, commencement and weddings. Social distancing has taken most of these rituals away. An expert discusses the importance of rituals in our mental health and why it’s okay to grieve their loss. She also discusses how changing rituals can be successful save for the tragic loss of funerals.
