“The day my brother died, I was
persuaded by close friends to leave my apartment in Brooklyn because it’s on
the 24th floor and there was the risk of using an elevator. So I’ve not
been home since.
And until two weeks ago, I avoided hugging and even being within 2 meters of my sons, which was almost as painful as losing my brother.
This was particularly acute for my brother’s wife, who dropped him at the hospital that Friday night, was told she had to self-quarantine, and didn’t see her husband again.”
