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

I have just finished the first week of mourning my beloved aunt. Because of my disability I might not have been able to go to her funeral, which will now be held over Zoom. So, I'm grateful for that. I feel that everything is flat and sad. She was one of my most important supports and I still can't believe she's gone. I had two memorial gatherings for me this week where I got to say kaddish, the memorial prayer. I think more people attended because of its being over Zoom. A friend went to a Chanukah party that was a drive-in event and said she really enjoyed the way they did it, with Chanukah trivia (turn your right blinker on if this is true, left if false...) and streamed a concert for everyone. What a sweet way to handle gathering during the pandemic.
