Lives Remembered
A look back at some of the lives we’ve lost to COVID
COVID-19 has now taken more than 11,000 lives across Massachusetts. This holiday season, thousands are sick, hospitalized, or recovering from the coronavirus and thousands more are mourning the loss of a loved one. The numbers are staggering but these are not just numbers. They are real people with lives, families, and communities grappling with their loss. There is no way to tell the stories of everyone who has been taken by COVID-19. Instead, here, with the assistance of students from the Berklee College of Music who express their own pandemic experiences in original musical compositions we revisit a small, illustrative sample of stories we told this year of people we ve lost since the pandemic began.
