Recently, my family had occasion to experience the world of isolation, one of the biggest challenges for seniors, especially in pandemic times.
Our older son was hospitalized in a month-long battle with COVID-19.
For more than two weeks of his hospital stay, there was very little communication possible between us due to hospital restrictions and treatment protocol. For our family, these were the scariest weeks of our lives. We had no idea if our son would live or die and were unable to learn if his condition was improving or degrading.
For our son, the isolation was even worse. He was in a medically- and COVID-induced fog, not able to discern the real and imagined. He had no reference points he could trust. One day, he asked to speak with someone from the hospital security department because he works in the security industry and trusts people in the field.
