With the first wave of COVID-19 surging, an iPad became Barry Joseph’s lifeline for communicating with his dad, Paul Joseph, in the hospital. Guided by the poems of Billy Collins, Barry stayed by his dad’s side – virtually – until it was time to let go. 

 

Find Barry on Instagram and TikTok at @fridayistomorrow and on Facebook at the Friday is Tomorrow Book Club. You can find his book about grief during the COVID-19 Pandemic at his website: fridayistomorrow.com
