For Those We Lost: COVID Stories

Episode 4. Sam in Arizona

Sam lost her father last September to COVID and she shares her story with us in this episode. Her father spent 64 days in a hospital ICU and the experience Sam had with the hospital, the video calls and the lack of control led her to raise money to purchase tablets for her local hospitals and eventually to found a non-profit that focuses on family centered, holistic care. 

Sam opens up about so much in this episode, her walk through grief, she speaks from her nursing experience and she emphasizes the importance of treating the entire person (their faith, their family, their health and their values) during their care.

You can learn more about her non-profit here: https://www.speakinglife4u.org/

You can reach her directly at [email protected]

For context on this interview and the ever-changing pandemic, we recorded this episode on July 12, 2021.

Thanks for listening to episode 3 of For Those We Lost.  Rosie comes to us from Texas and is the founder of Yellow Heart Memorial. Rosie lost her mom in May of 2020 and afterward she sought out a way to heal. She reached out to a young woman who was painting yellow hearts with images of those lost to COVID and asked for a picture of her mom.  That became the Yellow Heart Memorial, which has grown to local memorials all over the United States.
