EP #423 - 2.21.2022 - Mourning a Health Care Hero w/Pamela Addison

Today I welcome Pamela Addison back to COVIDCalls to talk about her life AND advocacy since her husband died of COVID in 2020.

Pamela Addison is the widow of a brave healthcare worker who lost his life to Covid at the start of this pandemic when her children were just 5 months and 2 years old.  Since her late husband’s death she has become a covid loss advocate focusing on the young children who have lost a parent/caregiver to Covid, the forgotten grievers. She also founded the group Young Widows and Widowers of Covid-19 several months after losing her late husband so no other young widow would feel alone on this unexpected and difficult journey of love, loss and grief. She hopes her story can make a difference and create change especially for the youngest victims of this pandemic, the children.
