I lost my aunt in April, not due to COVID-19, but my mom passed away on June 8,2021 due to complications from COVID-19. My mom got sick just two days after her sister’s funeral.

COVID-19 affected her neurological systems so experienced seizures, a cerebral stroke, etc.…She was also a diabetic so feel this also impacted her untimely death.

She was my best friend and person I could share my innermost feelings with. We lived together and many people didn’t understand our very special bond. I miss her but I also take comfort knowing her life would have been isolated to around the clock nursing home care. I wouldn’t want that nor would she. I know she is in heaven with Jesus and that gives me peace.

She did not yet have the vaccine and that was one regret she had before her last hospital stay.
