by herself for a couple weeks while I made the 5 hour trip back to where I lived to check back in with my job and my husband. I drove back down to be there when she was released back to her nursing home, but it still haunts me. I can’t even imagine trying to deal with this year if she were still alive.

fixed. They need to give some thought to this problem and come up with a workable solution. I believe it can be done with some thought and a little less overreaction. Considering the routes to infection that go completely unstopped, not allowing people to see their dying loved ones, even if they aren't dying of COVID, is uncalled for.

go... I felt horrible. And I know she hates being alone like that. Her family gives her strength. And our presence would comfort her and make her fight. I don't see why they just don't test us for covid and let us stay there. This is no way to treat people.
