Hello, I wanted to reach out to you and give you my condolences. I don't know Mr. Jim or his wife but I too lost my husband of COVID that I got from the school I worked and this has been a trying, hard and confusing journey but I don't want you to think you are alone in this battle and on this road. Yes, I saw you have a loving family but it is asinine that I faced the same thing as you and we somehow can't reach out and say I feel you, I see you, I understand you and I am here for you. We used to have sympathy, empathy, compassion, love and care for humanity and they have orchestrated the opposite and it will take us women to get it back on the right track.
