The self-applied web-based intervention Grief COVID was efficient in reducing the symptomatology of anxiety, depression, hopelessness, suicide risk, PTSD, and CGD. Grief COVID was evaluated by the participants who answered the system usability questionnaire as easy to use. The results of this study are highly relevant to professionals in other countries who wish to design, develop, and deliver interventions similar to Grief COVID to provide grief-related support to the general population and decrease the risk of developing CGD and associated clinical correlates.The authors want to thank graphic designers and animators, Javier Velazquez, Edgar Arenas, Karine Tovanche, Alexia Apodaca, Cinthia Holguín, Mariana Martínez, Pedro Gutierrez, and Mitzi Valencia, who created the videos and made more attractive contents for this intervention.
