Episode 27. Kasandra on Long Island
In this episode, I will be talking with Kasandra on Long Island. Kasandra lost her brother, Louis, to COVID on March 31, 2020 at the beginning of the pandemic and she talks about feeling very stuck in 2020. She feels that with the world "moving on" everyone has forgotten about those we've lost and those who are still sick and dying even now. Kasandra is vocal on Twitter and is a great source of support on the Facebook COVID support groups. She also shares her brother's story everywhere she can.
In this episode, she talks about a lot of different groups. She also mentions her brother's Twitter account, frozen in time. Here are all those links.
