520 |a The COVID-19 pandemic can cause mental health problems such as anxiety and depression which can be considered as forms of human suffering. This article explores the theological concept of suffering as reflected specifically in John Paul II’s apostolic letter Salvifici Doloris. Two significant themes emerged from the document which highlights suffering—part of humanity’s transcendence and that it is beneficial for the sufferer. Utilizing the personal experience of the author as the main source of data, overcoming suffering can be attained using the same themes. These themes are then translated and applied into a concrete plan of action which are actualized regularly, namely: acceptance, regular conversation with loved ones, and meditation. Habitual practice of such actions contributed greatly to the mental health recovery from such a crisis.
