When my newest grandchild was born, I was not able to hold him for months. For months we visited with a storm door between us.

He did not see my face without a mask until recently. I was not able to help my daughter after her husband returned to work, which I think contributed to jer complications in recovery from a C Section.

In March, we were unable to get medical care in person when we needed it because the offices were closed for weeks, which may or may not have led to the deterioration of our chronic diseases. When my husband had an emergency admission to the hospital, not COVID19-related, which led to life-threatening infection and more than a week in ICU, I was unable to see him for weeks.

Blessedly, only my grandson got COVID-19 and his case was mild. No one in my family lost income and I found that I had more money than ever because when you do nothing, you spend nothing. We gave away our stimulus money. I would gladly have paid extra to have my pre-COVID-19 life back.

I have lost a year of my life at a time when most of my life is already over. Only time will tell how much of my pre-COVID-19 life will return.
