Our guest, Eileen O’Brien, bravely shares her experience of losing her partner, Scott, to the relentless grasp of Covid-19. Eileen's journey, both harrowing and profound, uncovers the raw emotions of love, fear, and finally, grief, experienced in the face of a global pandemic. Her story underscores the pandemic's Russian roulette-like impact on our lives, making it a compelling listen for anyone grappling with similar situations.

Imagine the anxiety of witnessing your loved one's deteriorating condition, and the guilt associated with not being present during their final moments.

Yet, amidst the storm of loss, Eileen discovered the resilience to navigate her grief. Returning to work, she found a semblance of normalcy and purpose, a distraction from her profound grief. Through conversations with Eileen, we learn the importance of companionship, both human and four-legged, in the healing process. Hear how Eileen's courage and strength have not only helped her find happiness again, but also empowered others experiencing similar situations. Listen for a poignant reminder of the devastating effects of Covid-19 and the resilient human spirit in the face of loss.
