ANXIETY: It is understandable that you are anxious because of your relative's sudden death. Since you have been cleared of illness consult with a Clinical Psychologist for psychotherapy to help you with ZOOM & if needed, a Psychiatrist for medication. Your fears and anxiety could be heightened because of the Covid-19 pandemic. Stay safe, cautious & hold on to hopefulness to elevate your immune system.
