During those three weeks we were all in the hospital every day with her. During this time Covid-19 went from a small blip on the news to crisis mode. She died on March 15th and the very next day the entire city was locked down. No wake, no funeral allowed, 10 family members at the cemetery for ten minutes only. It's hard to express how we all feel that, even now, we never had a chance to even process her death. There was so much more to worry about.
I am so grateful that we were able to be with her in her last days before lock down, and that none of us got covid while spending all that time in the hospital (sleeping there some nights). I am also grateful that my job was considered essential and I work with family members only close to home so that is a blessing. But it has been a very depressing and anxiety inducing year and I cannot believe that it is 2021 and we seem to be no better at this moment.
Disney has always been my escape from stress and I miss it soo much. We have a trip planned for April and hope that we can go safely. New York was hit very hard and it has given me a high anxiety watching it all unfold.
I am sorry about your mother. Perhaps you could have a dinner in her honor to help your family process her death when things are a little better. I know it isn't the same as having it then, but it would be good for your family.
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
