Even though I am not Igor: My MIL was hospitalized with COVID. She was not feeling poorly, but they tested her when she was moving from her assisted living to another assisted living and found it. Then she was in limbo because neither wanted (rightly so) a COVID patient so they decided the hospital would be best. A few days into her stay they decided to give her Remdesevir. Then within two days of that she died. They say COVID. We say Remdesevir. I know one person here who went to the hospital because he could not breath (had Covid). They sent him home with a pulse ox meter. Two days later they picked him up in an ambulance. Not sure what happened to him. I was gone when they picked him up and the wife is gone now. Both of those people are/were old. I know not one young person who has died from COVID. Or been more ill than a cold.

VERY SAD for your loss! It should not have happened. Maybe that's why it's called, "Run Death Is Near!"

Igor will be happy for that clarification. And thank you for your comment above. Honestly I wish I could get over being so mad about what happened if for no other reason than to spare my husband having to see me so mad.

You are angry because you care, there is nothing bad or wrong about feeling that way at all.

Honestly, my mother only showed indifference or anger towards me for something like asking a question.

If she had been angry for me just once I would have known that she gave a shit.

Some people probably don't deserve the kids they are blessed with.

My MIL had her faults but she stood up for her kids when they were young and she loved the spouses of her children with more devotion than they deserved at times.

The world is worse without people like her in it.

Are you my sister? Just kidding; my sister would never read this Substack. But you’ve described my mother.
