Last week, the comedian and writer Laurie Kilmartin used Twitter to document the final hours of her mother’s life.
So I am just watching my mom sleep and cough in her hospital bed, over Facetime, trying to gulp down these last moments having a mom. This is all happening so fast.

I just held an iPad to my chest and wailed, “i love you I love you, I’m sorry, dont leave me,” which is great pratice for when I use this same iPad for post-quar Tinder.

A practical tip/ if your loved one is hospitalized during COVID, you need two phone lines. One for Facetime and one to call the nurse station ask for things like water and chapstick etc.
