How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

My grandchildren were quarantined for a second time this week. They were exposed by playing with the neighbor kids. Until kids can be vaccinated covid will keep circulating. Thankfully they tested negative today. I missed not being able to take care of them, but couldn't put my other grandchildren at risk whom I also care for. This happened on the anniversary of my mother's death from covid. So ironic and sad that it is still and issue. I miss my mom and think of her often, but I am feeling more at peace since I attended an online grief event. I said that I felt so bad not being with my mom when she was dying. One of the other people in the group asked me if she talked about people who had passed away. She actually did. About 4 days before she died she told me to come over so I could see her aunt and her mother. The other person said she wasn't alone. That gave me some peace.
