A place to grieve the complicated losses of COVID-19
by editors@theworld.org (Leo Hornak) from The World: Latest Stories on (#6VYBG)
In London, an unofficial memorial - right across from Parliament - has become a pilgrimage site for the grieving. More than 240,000 hand-painted hearts adorn a wall, each heart representing someone who died of COVID-19 in the UK. In a story originally broadcast in October, Leo Hornak reports that painting these hearts has brought healing and a sense of community to those who lost loved ones in the pandemic. We hear it again, to mark the five-year anniversary of the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
