For Those We Lost

In this podcast, people share their stories of losing a loved one to COVID. Each episode is one person's story of losing someone they love. In these long-form interviews, we talk about grief, loss, the pandemic, healing and taking action. I am your host, Jennifer Sullivan, and I lost my mom to COVID in August 2020. I had no control over what happened and it wrecked me. This podcast is my hope, my light at the end of the tunnel, and my way of making sure that no one ever forgets about those we lost to COVID.

For Those We Lost

Episode 32. Kathryn in California

In this episode, I will be talking with Kathryn in California. Kathryn lost her mom, Dianne Wise, on December 29, 2020 in Toronto, Canada. Kathryn talks about saying goodbye over a video screen and how important it was for her to get back to Canada to see her family and grieve with them. What touched me most in this episode is the grief Kathryn has for her mom not visiting her in the summer of 2020. They weighed the risks at the time not knowing her mom would pass away. Kathryn also talks about how Zoom, even now, brings her memories of losing her mom remotely.
