Michelle Knepler, a respiratory therapist at HSHS St. John’s Hospital, said she saw mothers in their 80s lose sons in their 50s during the COVID-19 pandemic. She said her work with COVID-19 patients who died actually helped her grieve the unexpected death of her 9-year-old son in a cardiac arrest in July of 2020. Her son’s death paved the way for her end-of-life discussions with families of dying COVID-19 patients. [Justin L. Fowler/The State Journal-Register]
