Return to normal will offer opportunities to honour the dead by improving the lives of the living

It was before the loss began. Before patient zero turned up in Manitoba, before the first of us died, before the virus ripped through our community, before the homes of our elderly were stricken with sickness, before the hospitals were overrun, before the doctors and nurses revolted, before the economy shut down, before the daily death toll became nightly news. Before all that, there was a hockey game. A Monday in Winnipeg. The temperature drops below zero but the sun is out in full force. A normal weekday afternoon fades into a normal weekday evening. As rush-hour traffic streams through downtown, 15,325 people file into Bell MTS Place for a 6 p.m. puck drop.

Faces of the pandemic: A look at the lives of 10 Manitobans lost to COVID-19

To most of us, they are anonymous numbers in a grim and ongoing count. But each one represents one of the more than 900 Manitoba lives lost over the past year to COVID-19. Many have gone without a published obituary marking their loss. Without family and friends able to gather to grieve at a funeral and, later, celebrate their memories. Manitoba’s first positive case was announced March 12, followed by three more the next day. The first COVID-19 hospital admission occurred March 17, and the province declared a state of emergency on March 20. We’re in this together and we’re grieving together, Mayor Brian Bowman said then. Our deepest condolences to the friends and family of the deceased.
