My partner’s eldest brother, Bernie, contracted COVID-19 in late March and was in an ICU on a ventilator (as well as multiple other life support machines) for the entire month of April. He is now recovering, miraculously, and the lessons I learned during the seven weeks of his life-threatening illness will stay with me forever. The greatest lesson is that we CAN reach each other and support each other even when we are not in physical proximity. I witnessed, and participated in, daily efforts to send Bernie energetic support in his struggle. Now that he can finally talk again, he reports that what helped him most was seeing printed photographs of his family members on his hospital room wall. And while he doesn’t have any memories of the energetic work we did (group prayer; group visualizations; group meditations; groups of people listening to his favorite music, etc.) he does believe that that is what caused him to pull through.
