Remembering The Loved Ones We've Lost

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 15, 2020

The Brian Lehrer Show and WNYC are putting together a time capsule to remember this strange and difficult year. Today, listeners call in to pay tribute to a loved one they’ve lost from COVID-19 but with whom they were unable to share final moments due to pandemic restrictions. Together, we’ll mourn those we held dear but couldn't embrace, honor their memories and lament how we were robbed of making more – and preserve their stories in the time capsule to be opened in ten years.

WNYC is funded by sponsors and member donations
