Think about the people closest to you. Tell us about how the coronavirus has affected them, and their life.

<strong> My grandma suffers from mental health before the pandemic started because she was in a bad car accident.</strong> The pandemic has made her feel more alone than she ever has and<strong> it is heartbreaking to listen to my grandma cry out about being lonely.</strong> As my grandparents get older I want to spend more time with them and this whole pandemic has made it hard.<strong> I work in a grocery store so I come in contact with hundreds of people in a day, I could not live with myself if I gave them COVID-19 and killed them so I try to reduce contact or stay away from them.</strong> This hurts my heart probably more than it hurts theirs. I still reach out to them and tell them I love them but it is not the same. For<strong> my mom, she has prior health issues and she is a big lady. I was scared for her more than anyone in my family</strong> because she can't breath with a mask on, but on the flip side will die if she catches COVID-19. We actually built her a mask with a breathing machine attached to it. This is<strong> a very scary thought for my mom to have that if she catches COVID-19 she has slim chances of surviving.</strong> Because of this she has been dieting and trying to get her health under order. Thank you.
