Several weeks ago, I made the decision to limit access to me. My FB feed was becoming the new obituary page. Even after dozens of postings about Covid case counts, Covid deaths, Covid long term symptoms, new deadly rising mutations, friends and their family were dying off. 1/7

If there were an “aha” moment..it only lasted until the next date on their social calendar.
My cousin who would call after my Covid posts has lost her Mom, 2 sisters, a brother, a brother-in-law, and a sister-in-law. None of them made life adjustments to combat Covid. 2/7

In early April, she called to asked if I was still doing the “Covid thing.” I shared with her the correlation between Covid and sudden deaths..even in our family. She then said that she was making plans to go to Vegas that month & going on a cruise the first week in May. 3/7

She then tried to encourage me to go on a cruise and to take my mother…and invited us to a gathering as well. Convinced that I was no longer talking to her, but I was talking to “Covid,” I ended the conversation. 4/7

She is now in a wheel chair…The cruise never took place because she had a stroke in Vegas. Six weeks later, she’s at a funeral of a friend…maskless.

What can you do???🙄 5/7

I’ve tried to remain as optimistic as possible but the truth is-the people we once knew are gone…. illogical thoughts, impulsive actions, uncaring hearts have manifested from repeated Covid infections. There is no doubt that Covid has impacted their brains. 6/7

The world is very strange. I’m watching how even the most astute Covid educated people have “fallen off” as conversations and focus have changed.
Mine are still the same.
My daughter asked…what is the plan now?

My response-to stay resilient and outlive them all. That’s it. 7/7
