Un altre model de dol popular suggereix que tothom que fa front al dol canvia entre centrar-se en la "pèrdua" i centrar-se en la "restauració".

Pèrdua – els pensaments, sentiments, accions i esdeveniments que et fan centrar-te en la teva pèrdua.

Restauració - distraccions de la vida diària per trencar el focus de la teva pèrdua.

This model suggests that someone who is grieving will switch their focus back and forth, and that it is important for the person to experience both as a way to process the grief in a manageable way. As many people will not have the usual distractions of life (e.g. work), Coronavirus may make managing grief more difficult whilst lockdown measures are in place.
