Summary:

This case study reflects on conducting qualitative interviews about grief experiences via online platforms and telephone. The original research plan was to conduct face-to-face interviews; however, an adjustment was required due to the restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic and the constraints of social distancing requirements. As researchers, we are aware of the debate regarding the best avenues for qualitative data collection and what is believed to be the gold standard of face-to-face interviews with virtual methods gaining attention in the literature. The reality of collecting interview data in the current and ever-changing landscape of our society has led to the need to consider the practical implications of using virtual methods of data collection while ensuring that the process and product are not subpar. This case explores a phenomenological inquiry conducted on the clinician's experiences of client death due to opioid overdose. In this research, 12 independently licensed clinicians, who are engaged in individual therapy with patients who abuse substances, were interviewed regarding their experiences of the death of a client to opioid overdose.
