Stories: Who We Have Lost

Will the Heartache Ever End?

Who did you lose to Covid 19? Donovan Kittell

No it won’t.

I have been in therapy and have had a psychiatrist ever since Donovan died of Covid. I AM in denial that my otherwise healthy 31-year-old son died of Covid. I still, after almost 2 years, can’t believe it. How could this be? My heart breaks everyday when I wake up in the morning. My handsome Donovan is gone.

Donovan’s 2-year angel anniversary is coming up in September. September 29. That will also be my husband Ozzie’s 5th month that he passed. Ozzie did not pass because of Covid but he was my strength during the hardest time in my life.

I have no one to talk me down from my heartache, anxiety, depression, memory induced spiraling out of control episodes. They ARE episodes. Some are short, most are long and dragged out and they are so much worse because my Ozzie is not here.

I love you Donovan. Always. Thank you my Ozzie for always being there for me.
