As if the mounting deaths aren’t enough I’ve read stories of mortuaries having to turn loved ones away. It’s hard enough to lose someone, made worse by not being able to be with them, and then finding that you can’t even plan their memorial. I’ve noticed the obituaries section in the paper growing. When I saw this one it just made me so sad. I have such empathy for what families must be going through. So thankful that I am not experiencing the same.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
