Adapting to Place Attachment Disruption During a Pandemic: From Resource Loss to Resilience

The COVID-19 pandemic instigated a remarkable range of stressors that have impacted people all around the world (Cowden et al., 2021b). Those stressors have affected economic (e.g., financial security), interpersonal (e.g., social connectedness), physical (e.g., health), psychological (e.g., mental well-being), and religious/spiritual (e.g., in-person religious services) domains of human life (Blustein et al., 2020; Dein et al., 2020; O’Connor et al., 2020; Xiong et al., 2020; Zhang et al., 2020). Pandemic-related stressors constitute different forms of resource loss, due in large part to the widespread community mitigation strategies (e.g., stay-at-home orders, physical distancing requirements) that have been enacted in countries and territories around the world to prevent or limit transmission of SARS-CoV-2.
