I cant believe a 90 year old woman died, that's unheard of

Thanks so much DiscoDancer1975. I appreciate your kind and thoughtful words.

I am angry and feel grief because of the ones I'm missing, not even through death but because of these beliefs of theirs causing a massive division so they feel they can't put up with "my energy".

I'm concerned for them as well. But like you say, prayer is the best and only way.

This always reminds me a bit of the story once told in church.
A man was trapped on his roof due to flooding. He prayed.
A boat came along, and the people tried to persuade him to get in:
‘ No’, he replied,’ God is going to save me’. He kept praying.
The water was rising, and then another boat came along with the same offer. The man refused, saying God is going to save me. Still he prayed.
The situation, now very dire, meant there wasn’t much roof left.
A helicopter hovered and lowered a rope. Still the man refused. The helicopter left and the man shouted at God, ‘ Lord, why won’t you save me’. God said, ‘ I sent you two boats and a helicopter, what else do you want me to do?’
We can’t be responsible for others in this situation. It’s really sad you’ve been ousted by your family/ friends. We can only pray that one day they will come to their senses.

In America an anti vaccine nurse has died and her parents are ill with covid too www.rawstory.com/olivia-guidry/

Meanwhile researchers have found that a 90 yr old lady who died in March 21 actually was infected with 2 types of covid strain.

Neither were vaccinated. I am devastated every day because of losing my family and friends who are anti vaccine and don't want to know me because I'm double vaxxed. I'm also so sad for all the people needlessly dying because they are decieved by the conspiracy theorists and anti vax brigade.
