Well, we are about 8 months into this thing. Honestly, did not think we would still be here but we are and it’s taking a heavy mental shift to accept this current new reality as is. Like most people, when the pandemic first hit, I was distraught. Emotionally, it was hard to wrap my mind around wtf was…

Nothing could have ever prepared me for losing my mom. I mean nothing. My family never really talked about death (and what to do after someone dies).
