I honestly don't know how we mentally recover from all of this. I completely relate to the Hate of Trump and Kushner and everyone else involved with the purposeful ignoring and denial of Covid.

In early Feb last year my daughter told me the trajectory on current path of doing nothing was a half million dead. We are nobody- but we knew then. The culpability for all of these pain and suffering of so many folks lies squarely in the Administrative lack of response. Everytime I read an article or story that anyone has regarding their family or friends dying of Covid or dying along during Covid, I am truly sickened and saddened.

My mother-in-law passed in September, just a few weeks shy of her 73rd birthday. We cared for her in our home in her final weeks. Her official cause of death was lung cancer. But, she was a work-a-holic, like someone else I may be familiar with... When the pandemic hit, she was alone, isolated, and didn't know what to do with herself. Although she was in turmoil, she never let anyone know. We talked on the phone, but never realized how she was struggling. looking back, we should've known... But, she didn't want us to. She died because of Covid. She never would have been so isolated if not for this damn pandemic. She was a proud and strong woman, never wanting anyone to know her business. She died BECAUSE OF Covid, and we miss her terribly...

RIP Momma... I hope you know how much we love you

This is heartbreaking and saying I’m sorry for your loss seems inadequate. Sending you a (virtual hug)

Thank you. I'm having a day... Overwhelmed with grief, so much senseless violence and loss. I should probably take a break from technology for a day or two... Maybe I could use some sand between my toes. VA beach is calling to me

It happens and it’s okay to not be okay. Grief doesn’t come with a handbook. And grief can be messy. I genuinely do think your momma is looking down and is very proud of you. In the event you need some beach videos below is a playlist of recent videos I uploaded. Like I said grief is messy - but please be kind and gentle with yourself ... https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLLza0wJjuf84ZeO9rnQgLzQ7e-o9I-dbh

How did I miss reading this when you published it. This is awesome and an example of how government can and should work. Do you know how this will be publicized or gotten out to a grieving public?
