Objective: understand the meanings of grief for people who faced the death of a family member due to COVID-19. Method: qualitative study, of the participant-action type, based on Paulo Freire's theoretical-methodological assumptions. 16 family members, residents of the coast of Santa Catarina, Brazil, participated. A Virtual Culture Circle was held, following the steps of the Freirean Itinerary. Results: They revealed that they experienced not only the grief of the family member, but also of countless friends. The pandemic took away the opportunity to say goodbye to the family member, as well as the joy in the family context, employment, in-person classes for the children, meetings, weddings, hugs and smiles. In the experience of mourning, the feeling of sadness was mainly evidenced. However, the pandemic also brought about intense learning, allowing for the strengthening of the family. Conclusion: the meaning of mourning was permeated by numerous losses, restricting the experience of the stages of mourning. But, given this whole process, people mainly sought to value their family.
