I worked from home for three weeks, and then I got laid off until the end of June, so I've been off work for a week.

And my dad's been in the hospital for a good chunk of that time. From a fall.
Sorry to hear your Dad is ill.

Positive thoughts and prayers are sent your way.

Hang in there, Buddy!

Dad's out of the hospital now. Now he's in a rehab facility, getting physical therapy to try and get his strength and balance back.

Meanwhile, my college roommate has an uncle who is in critical condition due to him having the Wuhan Virus.

Me three! Plus my new job is paying "hazard pay" since we are considered essential so I get a $2.00 an hour raise for the next month.

And now every summer festival in town is closed, and who knows if we'll see any of them? Oh, and the day after I checked out of curiosity, Wicked cancelled its summer tour of town, as well. Just an absolute killer- now I have nothing to look forward to all year, and only MAYBE will I even get my vacation. Small potatoes compared to what others are going through, but considering how agonizing this has made work, I can't help but feel I just need to check out emotionally for the rest of the year.

My dad died on the 5th on March (though not due to Corona) and because of the lock down we still haven't been able to have a funeral and probably won't be able to for quite some time. Now personally I don't see his body as 'him' so I'm not distressed at him not being 'at rest' but the limbo like state we're in feels really weird. We can't even have a small gathering because my sister is pregnant and has been told to self-isolate for the health of the baby. So far I'm okay, I'm more worried that the not knowing/lack of progress will eventually effect my sister.

Maybe you can have a teleconference wake/service to tide you over until you can have a real funeral? It's something you can talk over with your priest/pastor. I mean, it won't be the real thing, but it's the thought that counts, right?

It's a good idea but for various reasons (that I won't go into), sadly it wouldn't be possible.

Hey, I understand kinda what you're going through. My mom at the first of the year due to lung cancer, COPD, Emphysema and heart failure.

And no problems. Not every idea is feasible for one reason or another.
