I sat outside Gran's funeral
Shielder Holly could not accompany her wife into the crematorium.
Kate Monaghan has decided to attend her grandma's funeral rather than watch online. But, because wife Holly has had her immune system suppressed, Kate must attend solo and sit in the crematorium bubbled away from her extended family
After dropping Kate off, Holly remains in the car outside the crematorium but questions still loom large about whether any of the family should be attending a funeral event at all because the virus could spreadback to Holly… And when exactly will she be getting a date for her vaccination?
This is the third in the second series of Isolation Diaries where Kate documents the complexities of life as a disabled person with her family during the lockdowns.
