I’m a teacher
I’m a #HealthcareHero widow
I’m fully vaccinated
I’m immunocompromised
I’m a mommy to a 2 & 3 year old that can’t be vaccinated yet.
Yes, I believe that dropping the mask mandates now is premature

Wearing a mask is not harming our kids newrepublic.com/article/165306…
Let’s focus on the fact that over 167,000 children have lost a parent/caregiver to #COVID19. Not to mention all the children who have lost someone they loved deeply.(Grandparent, aunt, uncle, sibling,cousin…) @JanethNunezdelP @Jerri3dz @MarkedByCovid @covid_loss @missinmycomfort ImageImageImage
So instead of arguing over a piece of cloth that does absolutely no harm, let’s think about these children dealing with #covidloss & grief. They need support. They need help. They need to be shown love & empathy. We need to focus on this NOT masks! @Jerri3dz @Tara_Swanigan ImageImage

Recently hearing people complain about how tired they are of #COVID19 has been frustrating. For 22 months I’ve grieved the loss of my #HealthcareHero husband. I’ve helped my daughter grieve the loss of her Daddy (Papa). I’ve become a solo parent and adjusted to a new life.🧵 ImageImage
I’ve been asked “Did he have an underlying health condition?” I’ve heard people complain about how masks are ruining their lives, while covid ruined mine (a mask does not ruin your life…losing someone you love to covid does). @kdurquiza @Tara_Swanigan @A_shot_of_Ri @itsmefi ImageImageImage
I’ve seen how HCW’s & their families have been forgotten. I’ve seen how the children who lost a parent/caregiver have been ignored. @Cleavon_MD @drjessigold @CTZebra @DrEricDing @drbreenheroes @Jerri3dz @chrisjkocher @NickGuthe @DanRather @PoppyHarlowCNN @JanethNunezdelP @POTUS Image

Since losing Martin to #COVID19 Elsie has struggled. She has been through something unimaginable at such a young age. This week has been one of her toughest weeks in awhile and it is absolutely heartbreaking to see her struggle and not be able to take her pain away. 🧵
Who knows how this loss will affect Graeme as he starts to understand more about why his Papa isn’t home. For months I have been trying to raise awareness about the youngest victims of this pandemic because I feel it isn’t talked about enough.
So many young children like Elsie are struggling because they have lost a parent to Covid. Elsie and Graeme will miss out on a lifetime of moments with their Papa. This isn’t uncommon, but yet it still isn’t talked about enough.
