Death came alone this year.
As COVID-19 swept through nursing homes and snatched breath from people in hospital emergency departments, families were kept away.
To keep them safe from the virus, and to keep the heath care workers safe, family members had to watch their loved ones die through glass. The lucky ones got to stand outside a window, where some families stood vigil for days. The less lucky had to say their goodbyes through flickering video on a cellphone. And some only learned of a death when a doctor called them afterward.
âIt was heart-wrenching,â said Chris-Anne Mumblo of watching her mother-in-law die through a window. âWe were forced to watch her suffer and say goodbye through a window, watching as she drew her last breaths.â

NY town EMS study advises merging of 3 agencies ems1.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from ems1.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
But the three agencies, which met with the Town Board on Monday on the issue, were unenthusiastic.
West Glens Falls and Bay Ridge EMS leaders said they were considering an adjustment to the boundary lines of their districts to equalize the number of calls each agency gets.
That was an alternative offered in the study.
North Queensbury EMS officials said they do not want to merge.
The conversation revealed the fractures between North Queensbury and Bay Ridge EMS, as members of both groups began to argue over standby calls.
Geographically, Bay Ridge essentially handles the middle of the town, so it shares borders with the other two agencies. When Bay Ridgeâs ambulances are busy at calls, North Queensbury EMS is asked to move its ambulance to the Bay Ridge line so it can get to midtown calls more quickly. Thatâs a standby call. The ambulance parks at a central spot and stands by for any emergency.
