I am so sorry for the loss of your husband.

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. My husband and I also had COVID-19 in March and have experienced, first-hand, how bad this illness is, and have been so shocked and distraught at the lack of an adequate response to it. My heart just breaks reading your words. Thank you for sharing your story.

There is no one with his head lying on the pillow next to me anymore. There’s a three-year-old who keeps asking about Grandpa. There’s a three-month-old boy who will never even get to meet his grandfather. Two hundred thousand is an unfathomable number — a numbing number — but there is real human pain behind it.
