Most of the family is un vaxxed. None of them agree with masks. We go to visit grandma who is dying in the icu. 2 at at a time only in her room. and the nurses in the waiting room take off their masks to work on their computers. We aren't wearing ours either. The supervisor comes out behind the doors to the ward. She yells and screams, to my family only, put your MASKS ON!!!. I say "so you don't believe in science". She yells some more The nurse, now behind her, in the waiting room puts her mask back on. I see this and am now squinting. The supervisor tells me this is "serious". She then fucks off. The nurse pulls her mask off. My grandmother dies a peaceful death, covid free.
I cant tell you what to do, but I saw a dying loved one face to face. no mask. life is only worth living.
i am sorry to hear, fren. best wishes to you and all your family. stay strong. we will in the end.
All I can do is live my life. The same thing the rest of us are doing. I thank all of this community for the support to have the will power I still have. I would hate to feel alone in these times
I'm so sorry to hear your grandmother has passed. I hope that she lived a very long and fulfilling life.
So sorry for your loss, but so glad you also spent time face to face, ignoring the hypocritical sheep. Death by Living! We need to die living, not live dying (in fear of death). Christ has conquered death and Hell by His death and resurrection!
Please accept my condolences. We have a somewhat famous poet in our family. His words comforted me when my mother passed away. I hope they do the same for you.

I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss, atomchurch. Sending prayers to you and your family. Your Grandmother is now watching over you. GODSPEED
My worst fear ismy vaccinated family get sick andthe hospital wont let unvaccinated visitors in
I am sorry for your loss but so happy you were able to be with your grandma without masks.
A) what kind of nurse yells at a family saying their good-byes to a loved one? And how disrespectful to your grandmother was that? B) the staph infections running around in hospitals pose a far greater threat. My uncle got one that was so bad that it basically fried his brain. He died six weeks later.
I would file a complaint - there is a score that hospitals use as a consumer metric called HCAHPS (pronounced hi-caps)- but essentially hospitals don't want lower scores as it affects their Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement. The lower the score, the less money they get. Don't make it about the mask - make it about the fact the nurse made a difficult situation that much harder. Why not pull you aside and gently say 'I am so sorry for this difficult time; however at this time we do have to follow protocol. Can you please mask up while you are waiting to spend time with your mom/grandma?' Something to that affect.

Because anyone that emotionally intelligent wouldn’t be a Mask Karen.
The only thing I regret is not referring to her as "Karen".
This is actually really good info to have and share. Thank you.
This supervisor deserves a punch in the face.
