Do you have any concerns about the long-term impact of the pandemic on children, either in general or in your life? If so, talk about one or two of your biggest concerns.

I’m concerned that with <strong> over 600,000 pandemic deaths in this country alone, there are a great number of children who are grieving </strong> the loss of a parent, grandparent, other relative, or friend. Many of these children <strong> will be raised by people who are also grieving </strong> the untimely loss of a partner or loved one. The effects of that <strong> deep vein of sadness </strong> will reverberate through the years and affect their wellbeing and relationships <strong> well beyond the end of the pandemic. </strong>
