We were stretched to our limit, not just because of the number of deaths, but also because the uncertainty took its toll.

Rolf Steinmann

It is important for family members to have their chance to say good-bye, it can be more peaceful and less traumatic, especially if the last time they saw the person they were in intensive care. It helps with the grieving process.

I hope the numbers wo n’t be like they were at the end of last year, but who knows, hopefully the stronger lockdown measures and the arrival of the vaccine will help.

We never knew when there would be a break in the numbers or if they would continue to rise.
