- Have you had one of those moments since this pandemic started when you just suddenly felt sad? Or maybe you've experienced the massive loss of someone you love? Claire Willis says grief varies widely by person, as does how we handle it. Willis is the co-founder of the Boston nonprofit Facing Cancer Together, and co-author of the book "Opening To Grief: Finding Your Way From Loss To Peace."
