I have been blown away by all of your support and I don't think I'm going to be able to respond to everyone individually! Thank you so much for all of your kindness! I'm also very happy to report that since filming this, I am starting to feel better and see some improvement! 💕
I am so happy to hear that Sarah!🤗😘 You know since friday last week I have not been feeling well. I missed work 2 days. I went to the drs. And they said that I have symptoms of Covid19. today I go get tested for covid19 🙁 I am so nervous. Because I have a 3 year old daughter.
@@sanjuanaguerra5206 I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well. I sincerely hope you don't have the virus. I was admitted to the ER in April with Covid-19 symptoms, but I didn't have the virus. I had bronchitis. Take good care of yourself. I'll be praying for you.
I love you more for sharing this, thank you for keeping it real. I hope you recovery soon, don't worry about your channel, we will be here when you get back on your feet! Take care.
Hey, one of your viewers shared this video with me as a reminder of what can happen. I was being very irresponsible with my friends in my most recent youtube video and a lot of people have pointed out this mistake to me. I thank you for giving this reminder to all of us and I wish you great times ahead 🙌
I’m only several minutes into this video and I’m completely livid.😡 I can only imagine how you feel towards these family members. Why on earth would you go to a function or at the very least warn people that you are not feeling well. This is one of the most selfish acts. To knowingly go to a family function where there are older people and people with underlying conditions and to possibly exposes them to this virus is inexcusable. I suffer with an autoimmune disease and I’m so fortunate that my friends and family are always so good to always let me know of any type of ailment, even the common cold. I hope that in no time you will be back to your “normal” self and feeling well. I really hope that these people have some realization of what they did and hopefully watch your video and read these comments. Get well soon Sarah. Love from Debbie in Ontario, CA.😊🙏
Shame on those rude, thoughtless, reckless family members. If this is how they treat their family and friends, I wonder how they treat their enemies? Thank you for sharing this information. I will use it to educate myself and others. You are very courageous. Hang in there!
I think forgiveness is more for you and I’d personally be DONE with those family members. I’d forgive and move on. Oh Sarah, you are so lovely. I’m so sorry you are going through this
I'm so., so sorry you had to go through all this nightmare. Just such a scary, horrible illness. I send you all my best wishes for a full recovery. Sue, from Hamilton, Ontario.
Sue Braid hello from Mississauga, Ontario. I guess we’re both on a journey to minimalism and love Sarah. I’m so disgusted that family members have caused her this much pain.😥
Oh no! I am so sorry you have been going through this, sweet, dear one!!! Keep your chin up! You are loved and appreciated, very much. You have helped me personally so much and have shown compassion to everyone here. You are right about trust, even with family members... and it hurts even more when that trust is broken. Take care of yourself!!! Sending prayer and good thoughts! Thank you for sharing this too.
This is why I havent even gone see my dad and aunts who are all above 60 since March and they still wanna get together on weekeds. Theyre safe bc they all live together but I dont wanna expose them or anythin. Its better to avoid goin to anyones house for their safety and your own. I live with my mom so I also have to take care of myself to protect her. Parties, bbqs, socializin of a any kid are not in my plans for the rest of the yr. I pray you get better and Im sure you will.. Think positively! And try not to laid down too much I read its better to sit up even if it hurts. 💗
I agree. I live a little over a mile from my parents and sister. I’ve only seen them once since the beginning of March. The only time I saw them was Father’s Day. I didn’t feel comfortable going over for Mother’s Day because of where we were in NY at that time. By Father’s Day I felt a little more comfortable. But it was just the 3 of them and me at their house. We did an outdoor BBQ and all wore masks and were very socially distant. Since then I still haven’t gone back because I just worry. They are all quarantining together but I go to work and just worry since my parents are in their 70’s.
Alexandra I live in NYC and Im still very scared from everythin that happened. I know of 3 healthy men under 60 who have died from it. Its just too risky and youre doin good by not visitin them. Sometimes for older ppl is hard to grasp the magnitude of whats happenin so its up to us to protect them💗
I'm so very sorry. Awful the way you were knowingly exposed. Spend some time laying on your stomach. Studies are showing that patients who lay "prone" have much greater outcomes! God bless you!! 🙏🙏🙏
@@bbygrlpt2 So out of 8 million people in NYC and only 200 people under 60 have died of covid, and you know 3 of them? What are you, Typhoid Mary? www.statista.com/statistics/1109867/coronavirus-death-rates-by-age-new-york-city/
I am so sad and truly sorry that you and Jake are struggling with this horrible virus. I can't even imagine how selfish those family members were, they don't deserve you in their life, that's for sure. You are a truly compassionate woman who does not deserve to go through this. I really hope you'll feel better soon and know that we are thinking about you and wishing you the best. Lots of love and hugs from France
This breaks my heart & makes me super angry at the same time. I hope since making this video the selfish person who didn’t care about anyone else watches this video & reaches out to you. You are a sweetheart & I wish you a speedy recovery.
I hope you will feel better soon! It is beyond me how family members could do this to you. It is disgusting and irresponsible. Because of selfish people like them, this pandemic will be with us for a long time. I am sorry that you have to go through this.
Oh my gosh Sarah, I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. The behaviour of those 'family' members is despicable. To do that, and then to not even have the decency to see how you are.... 😠 Times like this are incredibly enlightening in helping us to see who deserves a place in our lives. Please focus on getting well- we are all rooting for you! x
I don't normally comment on videos but I've watched many of your videos and want to say I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I pray you get better and bounce back soon! ❤
Hi Sara, So very sorry to hear that you are struggling through Covid )) I’m an RN & a long term fan of your media presence Thank you for being so brave & kind to share your story with us. I hope you are soon on the mend. Sending healing thoughts & 🙏🏻
So sorry to hear this. You've been hit not only with being physically sick but also emotionally hurt due to their lack of concern for your wellbeing before and also during your recovery. Continue resting until you are fully recovered ❤
Sarah, I am so sorry for what you’ve had to go through, I also feel awful for your husband, being that it was his family... but what I mostly want you to know is that since I saw this video (last night on my tv) I began to pray for you and your prompt recovery. You remind me of my youngest daughter who lives 3k miles away, besides I love to see you content-very valuable and calming, especially for these times. Blessings to you and Jake, hope to see you well soon.
They were irresponsible, but on the bright side, it's better to get it while you're young and healthy. If you wait for a vaccine, the immunity is only good for a few months, and they're as little as 3% effective. I'm hoping that one of the two bad flu bugs that I had this spring was covid. Actually getting it gives you long term immunity, and that's according to a researcher.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this, I hate covid. It’s really brought out sad traits in some people. Be patient with yourself and take as much time as you need to recover.
That's appalling. It's this kind of selfish, irresponsible behaviour that is killing people. People like this should be arrested in my opinion, both the sick people and the ones who kept quiet. I don't think anyone would blame you if you cut them out of your life; that's what they deserve. I really hope you feel better soon. I have chronic illness and every day is a struggle, but coronavirus is horrible and I feel really bad for you xxx
OMG, I am so sorry to hear that you & Jake got the virus from sick relatives. What they did to the whole family is unbelievable. I've been doing a lot of self quarantining since March, when our governor in California ordered the first shutdown. After a number of businesses reopened, we've had a spike and are in lockdown again. I'm older, have underlying health conditions and suffered through bronchitis in April, so I'm taking this virus very seriously. I never leave home, for essential errands only, without a mask & hand sanitizer. Please, please take good care of yourself. I will be praying for you.
I’m so sorry your family members infected you. Thank you for sharing this account of how it’s gone. I wish you a daily increase in comfort and health. Props to Jake ❤️ Get well soon. ❤️
I hope you feel better soon! Thank you for your message. We need to be reminded how real this is. It is just now starting to impact the community where I live. Hoping for the best and a quick recovery for you and your husband.
I hope you feel better soon! I feel horrible, that you were exposed to Covid-19 by someone who should have been looking out for their family and instead made selfish choices. I am so sorry.❤️❤️
I am praying for you and Jake to have a full, speedy recovery physically, emotionally, and psychologically. I am thankful I you have some support. Yes, you are right the silence of concerned is horrible! I deal with that because of my chronic health conditions. I have lost all of my friends except two and all of my communities. And, yes, trust is imperative! I hope you and Jake will be able to discern who you can trust. Your lives are more important than extended familial obligations. Please take care.
I’m so sorry that you’ve been so sick. It’s disheartening to find that people are so selfish that they will deliberately put others at risk. Prayers that you will soon be well. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Glad you're starting to feel better. I'm sorry for everything you're going through- I don't understand why anyone would put their own family members in harm's way; it truly baffles me. Take care-
OMG I would disown those family members for what they have done. That is unconscionable that they knew they were ill and said nothing. This is why I've locked us down even more since I'm in the south, there are very few people I trust completely and we are still taking all the extra precautions. Focus on yourself, take extra vitamin D and zinc, and don't let the guilt of not being able to work get to you.
Just want to say I really appreciate you speaking out for people with chronic illnesses. Sometimes it’s not until your sick that you realize what others go through. This month it is 40 years since I’ve had Crohn’s disease and it’s been a difficult life. I’ve had many years where I’ve spent more time in bed than out of bed and also have had five major abdominal surgeries. Health is something people take for granted and that is why many people have not taken COVID19 seriously. I think being so ill has made me so empathetic towards others and that is why my heart is breaking listening to you.😥
You poor darling. My heart goes out to you. I can see how emotional and fragile you are 😭😭. Sending love and hugs and lots of prayers angel 😇. Just take care love - nothing else is important. Your health is the most important thing right. Big hugs to you and Jake.
You are so strong! You are helping to remind me of why we need to stay vigilant with masks, etc. Thank you for serving us with your message. Prayers for your recovery!
Hope you recover fast 🙏 thank goodness you are on the right path! Let go of the pain and just move on. As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Have courage ❤️
I’m so sorry to hear you have contracted COVID. Our family is continuing to avoid contact as much as possible even though in NY our cases have decreased significantly. I want to say thank you for sharing your experience. Even if 1 person changes their behavior due to this video, you have provided a great service. Please rest and take care of yourself. I look forward to your vibrant return.
I agree,ppl like that aren't helpful to a happy life. They weren't truthful and haven't checked in on you. Maybe it's time to make some decisions about who deserves to be in your life my friend.yes take care of you and look after you 1st x
I am so sorry you had this experience! I am one of those that is taking it very seriously. It's a scary time and I am very glad that your symptoms - while they sound terrible - have not required hospitalization. Are you taking zinc and vitamin C and vitamin D? I have heard those things can help recovery / prevention. Take care and feel better soon!
Some people are so selfish and thoughtless. You sound so exhausted, and have been through an ordeal. You are wise to isolate yourselves from those you dont trust or need to see. Here in Melbourne Australia, things are getting bad again, after we got down to zero cases for about a month. We are now stage 3 restrictions. Can only stay local , go out for work/school ( prep to year 10 is home schooled) only senior high school and special needs, vunreable or kids of parents who work full time are going to school , the rest are homeschooled like i said. Can go out for medical, caring or food etc. Thats it, 4 reasons. Also just brought in that masks are manatory outside of house. Hey, its horrible that family didnt apologise. I wonder how many people they infected overall in community. Take care and stay safe xo
Omg, that is so scary! I hope now that your fever is gone, it is a sign that you are finally on the upside, and will start feeling better soon! If you feel up to it, keep us posted! We're all worried! But don't push yourself--only do it if you feel up to it, like in a community post or something. But take care of yourself!
Oh yes, I hear vitamin D and zinc is great, I was talking for a long time because my little grandson goes to a little like Montessori school and he use to come home with colds almost every 2 weeks, so I started taking D & Zinc. Who knows maybe that’s why I didn’t catch it from my son, like I mentioned on my previous comments. Well take care my dear we will be checking on you. 😘❤️
Yes I also take a high dose vitamin d for about a year and never caught it from my son, he’s 9 and had it bad with chest pain weakness the lot. I had a sore throat for a day then nothing! ( he now takes vitamin d)
Sarah, I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Thank you for using your energy to tell us what you're experiencing and being frank about how you got it. You have every right to put your health first in considering how you proceed from here. It's hard to believe Jake's family members were so careless with others' health. What they did is unconscionable. I hope your days get easier. Know that there are people out there who care about you, even if you don't know us personally. Thank you to Jake for his loving caregiving.
I didn’t know you had been sick. I am so sorry! Thank you so much for your message. We all need to take this seriously and be responsible. I find it so appalling, that those people who gave COVID to you, give so little value to the lives of others. After watching a more recent video, I’m glad to know you’re doing better now. Hugs. Love your channel!
I am so sorry that you got this terrible virus and have been so sick. Hope you feel better soon. Thank you for being so informative and honest. Reminding people to be careful is so important.
I'm so sorry that you are sick, and that you've been let down so badly by family members. This whole pandemic has shone a huge light on how selfish people can be (and the ones who are true gems). I hope you make a full recovery very soon ❤
I cannot imagine how terrifying it must be not to be able to breath properly. I’m watching this video five months after you made it and I hope now you are fully recovered. I’ve only just discovered your excellent channel. My best wishes to you and take care. And thank you for all the de cluttering advice.
Oh bless you. I know four friends here in the UK that have suffered, all different variations and strengths. I hope you recover soon sweetheart. All the very best to you and Jake. I hope you and Jake's family can mend the damage in your relationship over time. Take care of eachother xxx
Sarah - I have only recently begun to watch your wonderful videos and am just shaking my head over other people’s inconsiderate behavior regarding your exposure to Covid-19. I am so glad you are feeling better now! Looking forward to your inspiration towards a more minimal lifestyle. You give such great advice and I love your calming presence. Bless you!
Thank you for sharing this. So sorry you have been struggling with this. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Praying you will be on the mend soon. Take care of you.
Hello Sarah! I'm a longtime viewer (but not a frequent commenter) and also a fellow teacher. Bless your heart, take care of yourself, and my fondest wishes for a full recovery!
I am so sorry to hear that you had to go through this and that too without your fault. I am shocked by the irresponsible and selfish behavior of these people, it’s because of such callous approach we have not been able to contain this viral infection. I wish you a fast recovery and I am sure that very soon you will be up and about and start making those awesome videos. Eat well, be positive and take care.
Thank you very much for your open and honest video. I hate that this happened. I hope you recover well and please try to take your time for this. I am sick from March 21 and occasionally still have health problems
Girl hang in there.. it will take a few months. I had it in March before anything was shut down, and here we are in July and im just feeling a little better. I lost 25 lbs. I kept it from everyone cause i didnt want to worry anyone. If my fam wants to hang out i stay home. It was my bday yesterday july 18 and stayed home by myself. I dont EVER want to feel that way again. Its a slap in the face from those who dont believe in this nor wear a mask. Unfortunately they dont care nor listen.
Wow, Sarah...please take care and get better soon. Consider all of us who watch your videos your family and know we support you and Jake! Your video is a great testimony to WHY people need to take this seriously! I work in healthcare and every day is a crapshoot, even wearing full PPE. Please take care, take your time. You are in my prayers.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’m also sorry it was because of someone else’s carelessness and selfishness. I know it’s easier said than done but stay positive, stay strong as best you can. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos once you’ve recovered.
Hope you get to feeling better real soon and have a complete recovery. Also thank you for doing this video, I know it must have been hard for you. If one person, seeing this takes it to heart and starts wearing a mask, or doesn't go out in public as much, you will have a great service to so many people. Take care and looking forward to future videos.
Very sad to learn that you have been sick Sarah ... this too shall pass ... you will again bounce back with health and happiness... sending you lots of positivity and a Big God Bless ....💕
It was weird to hit the thumbs up but I really do appreciate you sharing your experience and am glad you are starting to feel a little better. The circumstances of how you got it and the lack of communication since that must break your heart and Jake's as well. (Sorry about his grandmother too.) We all have to trust our gut and protect ourselves first. Your openness to share your experience could be an eye opener for some of us or a reinforcement of how we are choosing to live right now when others might think we are over-reacting is justified. You remain in my prayers and there will always be time for you roll out the content you planned for when you are ready and able!
I’m so sorry for what you are going through. Wishing you a speeding recovery. It will get better and the best thing to do now is concentrate on getting better and move forward from it. Sending you strength to get through this difficult time.
You are in my prayers! I am so sorry, (and angry at irresponsible people), that this has happened to one of the nicest, kindest youtubers. Please just take care of yourself and get well soon. We will still be here for you! 💗🙏😊
Oh no so sorry to learn you got it. I am hoping you recover soon and feel better soon. Will be keeping you in my thoughts and sending you love and light.
So sorry that you are sick, and also how it impacted your relationship with his family. I think this time has brought out the best and worst in people. I wish everyone would take this much more seriously. I will keep you in my prayers.
You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends. I’m really sorry that you have to get through this, which was not needed if people were not so selfish. I have been chronically ill, with more then 1,5 years of that in a room without lights only been able to eat and go to the bedroom. So i know how hard this is, glad you spoke about the topic about being chronically ill. You will get beter, but a lot of people are still struggling every day even without covid. Get well soon
I am so sorry you got sick and this happened! I am glad you posted this. I have a chronic illness and at increased risk but feel the pressures of family gatherings. Your message was a good reminder to take care of yourself and immediate family first and not give in to expectations of others.
Sarah I’m so sorry to see you going through this. So grateful that your husband recovered quickly and is able to help you through this rough time. Wishing you a speedy recovery from here on. Shame on that family for their gross negligence. Thankful Jake’s grandpa didn’t get it also. I’m so proud of you for sharing this, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable with us. Please be kind and gentle with yourself x
I watch you for years and never comment. Thanks , this video is very informative. I feel so sorry for you. I wish you a speedy recovery. Greetings from NYC 👍🏼🇵🇷🗽😍
I'm seeing this 10 months later (didn't find your channel until recently) and am so sorry you went through this and thrilled you came out of it okay. I do hope that you or your husband have fully recovered and aren't suffering from long-haulers syndrome. I'm also sorry that members of your family were so careless. Sending so much love. Stay well!
Sarah i’m so sorry that you have had to ho through this terrible experience, the lack of compassion from the virus spreaders is unbelievable! Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you feel better as each day comes xx
I am so so sorry for what you are going through. I'll be thinking of you and I hope you have better days soon. Thank you so much for your bravery in making this video at this time in your sickness; it made such an impact on me and made this virus more real than ever. It really drove home the importance of not being around people you don't trust 100%. We just skipped out on a relative's 50th wedding anniversary party and heard how we were the only ones not there. Just thank you. I hope you are able to update us with how you feel in the next few days. ❤️
Very brave of you to share this with us ♥ I wish you a full recovery very soon and send huge hugs of wellness from the South of England 🤗 I have long term health issues and you brighten 🔆 my day with your videos and thoughful content. I hope all the messages help brighten your day and bring you strength ♥
Bless your heart. Know I just lifted you up in prayer. Our daughter is a COVID nurse in South Texas and it breaks our hearts to see how people are not taking this seriously! Hang in there!
I'm so sorry, Sarah. I pray you are healing faster these last three days since you posted this. Im in your monthly group (Chris) and take all the time you need to recover.
Thank you for making the effort to share your experience so candidly, especially when you are still feeling bad. I hope what you have had to endure may possibly prevent someone else from being exposed in the manner which you and Jake were. Take care.
Bless your sweet heart! Take good care! I had it in April, but because I've had autoimmune disorder since I was very young, this was just a regular day in the life. Lots of love from The Hague!
I'm so glad you are feeling just a little better!! How selfish & irresponsible people can be especially during a world wide pandemic is amazing to me. I'm still choosing to self quarantine not going anywhere except to pick up groceries with one exception of having to take my dog to the vet and they were taking excellent precautions. I'm very blessed to work remotely. I do understand that others can't stay home even if they wanted to and I feel for them. I'm immuno-compromised so I've been pretty stricked about staying home. Prayers to you and anyone affected. Get well soon!!
Thank you for sharing this video as difficult as it's been for you. I'm so sorry for this awful situation and feel so sobered that someone so young and strong as yourself can be affected so badly. Hugs to you and prayers for your recovery. Maybe Jake's family members just feel so guilty and awful they are having denial so not reaching out? Not that it's an excuse... Much love, you will come out stronger for this.
Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel so bad for you! It teaches me to be much more careful! I hope the rest of your recovery goes quickly and smoothly!
Sending you a big virtual hug!!! ❤️🤗 You are so brave to make this video. Everyone needs these reminders to stay safe. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ sending good vibes your way ❤️ ❤️❤️🙏
I’m so sorry you got sick that way! It’s awful how folks can be so cold and indifferent. We were sick with it back in May and it was miserable my poor husband had it way worse and I was very concerned for a couple of days for his life! I hope and pray you get well soon!
Thank you for sharing your experience. We made a conscious choice not to go to a large family gathering because of this reason. I'm so sorry you and your hubby have had to go through this. Prayers and healing thoughts for you both.❤
I have been blown away by all of your support and I don't think I'm going to be able to respond to everyone individually! Thank you so much for all of your kindness! I'm also very happy to report that since filming this, I am starting to feel better and see some improvement! 💕
A little stronger every day!🥰
Good to hear Sarah!. Get well soon and see you soon with more videos.😍
I am so happy to hear that Sarah!🤗😘
You know since friday last week I have not been feeling well. I missed work 2 days. I went to the drs. And they said that I have symptoms of Covid19. today I go get tested for covid19 🙁 I am so nervous. Because I have a 3 year old daughter.
@@sanjuanaguerra5206 I'm sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well. I sincerely hope you don't have the virus. I was admitted to the ER in April with Covid-19 symptoms, but I didn't have the virus. I had bronchitis. Take good care of yourself. I'll be praying for you.
@@sanjuanaguerra5206 dont worry. it will not be covid19. I will keep you in my prayers.
I just hope people realize this is the same with all germs. If someone is sick stay home, no matter what germ!
Exactly.
It’s not exactly the same, it’s worse.
My sentiments exactly!
Beth Hackett It is not the same. More than 200 thousand people have died of COVID in the USA . So no, not the same as any germ.
I love you more for sharing this, thank you for keeping it real. I hope you recovery soon, don't worry about your channel, we will be here when you get back on your feet! Take care.
Thank you so much, Michelle!
There is no individual "right" to endanger public health and safety.
California just repealed the law that had made it illegal to knowingly transmit AIDS, so.....
E Dennis insanity! What possible rationale could there be for that?
Well said.

I am so sad and truly sorry that you and Jake are struggling with this horrible virus. I can't even imagine how selfish those family members were, they don't deserve you in their life, that's for sure. You are a truly compassionate woman who does not deserve to go through this.
I really hope you'll feel better soon and know that we are thinking about you and wishing you the best.
Lots of love and hugs from France
This breaks my heart & makes me super angry at the same time. I hope since making this video the selfish person who didn’t care about anyone else watches this video & reaches out to you. You are a sweetheart & I wish you a speedy recovery.
Thank you so much!
I hope you will feel better soon! It is beyond me how family members could do this to you. It is disgusting and irresponsible. Because of selfish people like them, this pandemic will be with us for a long time. I am sorry that you have to go through this.
Thank you, Agnes!
Oh my gosh Sarah, I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. The behaviour of those 'family' members is despicable. To do that, and then to not even have the decency to see how you are.... 😠 Times like this are incredibly enlightening in helping us to see who deserves a place in our lives. Please focus on getting well- we are all rooting for you! x
I don't normally comment on videos but I've watched many of your videos and want to say I'm so sorry for what happened to you. I pray you get better and bounce back soon! ❤
Thank you so much for leaving this comment! I appreciate your kindness!
Hi Sara,
So very sorry to hear that you are struggling through Covid ))
I’m an RN & a long term
fan of your media presence
Thank you for being so brave & kind to share your story with us. I hope you are soon on the mend.
Sending healing thoughts & 🙏🏻
Thank you so much, Trish!
That’s such a terrible thing to have happened to you. Take care and get well soon. ❤️
So sorry to hear this. You've been hit not only with being physically sick but also emotionally hurt due to their lack of concern for your wellbeing before and also during your recovery.
Continue resting until you are fully recovered ❤
Thank you, Jenny! Will do!
Sarah, I am so sorry for what you’ve had to go through, I also feel awful for your husband, being that it was his family... but what I mostly want you to know is that since I saw this video (last night on my tv) I began to pray for you and your prompt recovery. You remind me of my youngest daughter who lives 3k miles away, besides I love to see you content-very valuable and calming, especially for these times. Blessings to you and Jake, hope to see you well soon.
Thank you so much, Sandra!
Wow, I don’t know if I could ever forgive them for their irresponsibility. This virus is not a joke! I wish you a safe recovery 💛
Thank you, Shayla!
They were irresponsible, but on the bright side, it's better to get it while you're young and healthy. If you wait for a vaccine, the immunity is only good for a few months, and they're as little as 3% effective. I'm hoping that one of the two bad flu bugs that I had this spring was covid. Actually getting it gives you long term immunity, and that's according to a researcher.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this, I hate covid. It’s really brought out sad traits in some people. Be patient with yourself and take as much time as you need to recover.
That's appalling. It's this kind of selfish, irresponsible behaviour that is killing people. People like this should be arrested in my opinion, both the sick people and the ones who kept quiet. I don't think anyone would blame you if you cut them out of your life; that's what they deserve. I really hope you feel better soon. I have chronic illness and every day is a struggle, but coronavirus is horrible and I feel really bad for you xxx
OMG, I am so sorry to hear that you & Jake got the virus from sick relatives. What they did to the whole family is unbelievable. I've been doing a lot of self quarantining since March, when our governor in California ordered the first shutdown. After a number of businesses reopened, we've had a spike and are in lockdown again. I'm older, have underlying health conditions and suffered through bronchitis in April, so I'm taking this virus very seriously. I never leave home, for essential errands only, without a mask & hand sanitizer. Please, please take good care of yourself. I will be praying for you.
Thank you, Marsha! I hope you stay safe too!
I’m so sorry you’ve had to go through this. Best wishes for a full recovery soon.
I’m so sorry your family members infected you. Thank you for sharing this account of how it’s gone. I wish you a daily increase in comfort and health. Props to Jake ❤️ Get well soon. ❤️
Thank you so much!
Abundantly Minimal ❤️
I hope you feel better soon! Thank you for your message. We need to be reminded how real this is. It is just now starting to impact the community where I live. Hoping for the best and a quick recovery for you and your husband.
Thank you, Regina!
I hope you feel better soon! I feel horrible, that you were exposed to Covid-19 by someone who should have been looking out for their family and instead made selfish choices. I am so sorry.❤️❤️
I am so sorry that this has happened to you and Jake. Prayers for you both.
Thank you, Missy!
Thank you, Tobie!
I am praying for you and Jake to have a full, speedy recovery physically, emotionally, and psychologically. I am thankful I you have some support. Yes, you are right the silence of concerned is horrible! I deal with that because of my chronic health conditions. I have lost all of my friends except two and all of my communities. And, yes, trust is imperative! I hope you and Jake will be able to discern who you can trust. Your lives are more important than extended familial obligations. Please take care.
I’m so sorry that you’ve been so sick. It’s disheartening to find that people are so selfish that they will deliberately put others at risk. Prayers that you will soon be well. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you, Martha!
Glad you're starting to feel better. I'm sorry for everything you're going through- I don't understand why anyone would put their own family members in harm's way; it truly baffles me. Take care-
OMG I would disown those family members for what they have done. That is unconscionable that they knew they were ill and said nothing. This is why I've locked us down even more since I'm in the south, there are very few people I trust completely and we are still taking all the extra precautions. Focus on yourself, take extra vitamin D and zinc, and don't let the guilt of not being able to work get to you.
Thank you, Carolyn! Stay well!
Yes!!!
Just want to say I really appreciate you speaking out for people with chronic illnesses. Sometimes it’s not until your sick that you realize what others go through. This month it is 40 years since I’ve had Crohn’s disease and it’s been a difficult life. I’ve had many years where I’ve spent more time in bed than out of bed and also have had five major abdominal surgeries. Health is something people take for granted and that is why many people have not taken COVID19 seriously. I think being so ill has made me so empathetic towards others and that is why my heart is breaking listening to you.😥
You are a warrior, Debbie!
You poor darling. My heart goes out to you. I can see how emotional and fragile you are 😭😭. Sending love and hugs and lots of prayers angel 😇. Just take care love - nothing else is important. Your health is the most important thing right. Big hugs to you and Jake.
Thank you, Dina! Will do!
You are so strong! You are helping to remind me of why we need to stay vigilant with masks, etc. Thank you for serving us with your message. Prayers for your recovery!
Im so sorry you’ve had such a hard time of it! That is so long to be sick. I hope you recovery quickly from here.
Thank you, Lucy!
Hope you recover fast 🙏 thank goodness you are on the right path! Let go of the pain and just move on. As they say, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Have courage ❤️
I’m sorry you’re sick. I’d be re-evaluating whether I’d consider these people as family or friends. Family wouldn’t do that to each other!
Exactly.
You're kidding, right? Family members are the WORST for showing up sick. They don't want to miss out no matter what.
I’m so sorry to hear you have contracted COVID. Our family is continuing to avoid contact as much as possible even though in NY our cases have decreased significantly. I want to say thank you for sharing your experience. Even if 1 person changes their behavior due to this video, you have provided a great service. Please rest and take care of yourself. I look forward to your vibrant return.
Why see them at all? Their true nature has been revealed. Shame on them!
Thank you, Diane!
I agree,ppl like that aren't helpful to a happy life. They weren't truthful and haven't checked in on you. Maybe it's time to make some decisions about who deserves to be in your life my friend.yes take care of you and look after you 1st x
You gave me many ideas that improved my life with your work. Please get well soon. A big hug from a Greek you never met.
Thank you, Tom!
I am so sorry you had this experience! I am one of those that is taking it very seriously. It's a scary time and I am very glad that your symptoms - while they sound terrible - have not required hospitalization. Are you taking zinc and vitamin C and vitamin D? I have heard those things can help recovery / prevention. Take care and feel better soon!
Thank you! I am very glad I have not required hospitalization either! I have been taking my vitamins, and trying to eat what I can!
I am so sorry you are going through this. I am praying for a healthy and full recovery for you and your husband. ❤️
Thank you, TJ!
Some people are so selfish and thoughtless. You sound so exhausted, and have been through an ordeal. You are wise to isolate yourselves from those you dont trust or need to see. Here in Melbourne Australia, things are getting bad again, after we got down to zero cases for about a month. We are now stage 3 restrictions. Can only stay local , go out for work/school ( prep to year 10 is home schooled) only senior high school and special needs, vunreable or kids of parents who work full time are going to school , the rest are homeschooled like i said. Can go out for medical, caring or food etc. Thats it, 4 reasons. Also just brought in that masks are manatory outside of house.
Hey, its horrible that family didnt apologise. I wonder how many people they infected overall in community. Take care and stay safe xo
Omg, that is so scary! I hope now that your fever is gone, it is a sign that you are finally on the upside, and will start feeling better soon! If you feel up to it, keep us posted! We're all worried! But don't push yourself--only do it if you feel up to it, like in a community post or something. But take care of yourself!
Thank you so much!
Oh yes, I hear vitamin D and zinc is great, I was talking for a long time because my little grandson goes to a little like Montessori school and he use to come home with colds almost every 2 weeks, so I started taking D & Zinc. Who knows maybe that’s why I didn’t catch it from my son, like I mentioned on my previous comments. Well take care my dear we will be checking on you. 😘❤️
neysa rodriguez I take those also as well as Vit C and A! Great ideas!
Yes I also take a high dose vitamin d for about a year and never caught it from my son, he’s 9 and had it bad with chest pain weakness the lot. I had a sore throat for a day then nothing! ( he now takes vitamin d)
Lozza poor thing! Hope he is better now, I have taken D for years bc I don’t do vaccines and it’s really good for flu prevention.
Sarah, I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Thank you for using your energy to tell us what you're experiencing and being frank about how you got it. You have every right to put your health first in considering how you proceed from here. It's hard to believe Jake's family members were so careless with others' health. What they did is unconscionable. I hope your days get easier. Know that there are people out there who care about you, even if you don't know us personally. Thank you to Jake for his loving caregiving.
Thank you, Julie!
The grandmother that died in March might have had undiagonsed covid!
It can take weeks for symptoms to show
elizabeth davis I wondered that too...
There is always a chance. She battled lung cancer for about a year.
I didn’t know you had been sick. I am so sorry! Thank you so much for your message. We all need to take this seriously and be responsible. I find it so appalling, that those people who gave COVID to you, give so little value to the lives of others. After watching a more recent video, I’m glad to know you’re doing better now. Hugs. Love your channel!
Thank you so much!
I am so sorry that you got this terrible virus and have been so sick. Hope you feel better soon. Thank you for being so informative and honest. Reminding people to be careful is so important.
Thank you, Annie!
I'm so sorry that you are sick, and that you've been let down so badly by family members. This whole pandemic has shone a huge light on how selfish people can be (and the ones who are true gems).
I hope you make a full recovery very soon ❤
Thank you so much!
I cannot imagine how terrifying it must be not to be able to breath properly. I’m watching this video five months after you made it and I hope now you are fully recovered. I’ve only just discovered your excellent channel.
My best wishes to you and take care. And thank you for all the de cluttering advice.
Thank you! It was very scary and we fortunately have had a full recovery.
Oh bless you. I know four friends here in the UK that have suffered, all different variations and strengths. I hope you recover soon sweetheart. All the very best to you and Jake. I hope you and Jake's family can mend the damage in your relationship over time. Take care of eachother xxx
Sarah - I have only recently begun to watch your wonderful videos and am just shaking my head over other people’s inconsiderate behavior regarding your exposure to Covid-19. I am so glad you are feeling better now! Looking forward to your inspiration towards a more minimal lifestyle. You give such great advice and I love your calming presence. Bless you!
Thank you so much, Annette! I really appreciate all of your kind words!
Thank you for sharing this. So sorry you have been struggling with this. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Praying you will be on the mend soon. Take care of you.
Hello Sarah! I'm a longtime viewer (but not a frequent commenter) and also a fellow teacher. Bless your heart, take care of yourself, and my fondest wishes for a full recovery!
Thank you so much!
I am so sorry to hear that you had to go through this and that too without your fault. I am shocked by the irresponsible and selfish behavior of these people, it’s because of such callous approach we have not been able to contain this viral infection. I wish you a fast recovery and I am sure that very soon you will be up and about and start making those awesome videos. Eat well, be positive and take care.
Thank you very much for your open and honest video. I hate that this happened. I hope you recover well and please try to take your time for this. I am sick from March 21 and occasionally still have health problems
Girl hang in there.. it will take a few months. I had it in March before anything was shut down, and here we are in July and im just feeling a little better. I lost 25 lbs. I kept it from everyone cause i didnt want to worry anyone.
If my fam wants to hang out i stay home. It was my bday yesterday july 18 and stayed home by myself. I dont EVER want to feel that way again.
Its a slap in the face from those who dont believe in this nor wear a mask. Unfortunately they dont care nor listen.
I'm so sorry to hear you had it too and that recovery has taken a long time. Sending good vibes your way!
Wow, Sarah...please take care and get better soon. Consider all of us who watch your videos your family and know we support you and Jake! Your video is a great testimony to WHY people need to take this seriously! I work in healthcare and every day is a crapshoot, even wearing full PPE. Please take care, take your time. You are in my prayers.
Thank you for your service in healthcare!
I’m sorry you’re going through this. I’m also sorry it was because of someone else’s carelessness and selfishness. I know it’s easier said than done but stay positive, stay strong as best you can. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos once you’ve recovered.
Hope you get to feeling better real soon and have a complete recovery. Also thank you for doing this video, I know it must have been hard for you. If one person, seeing this takes it to heart and starts wearing a mask, or doesn't go out in public as much, you will have a great service to so many people. Take care and looking forward to future videos.
Very sad to learn that you have been sick Sarah ... this too shall pass ... you will again bounce back with health and happiness... sending you lots of positivity and a Big God Bless ....💕
It was weird to hit the thumbs up but I really do appreciate you sharing your experience and am glad you are starting to feel a little better. The circumstances of how you got it and the lack of communication since that must break your heart and Jake's as well. (Sorry about his grandmother too.) We all have to trust our gut and protect ourselves first. Your openness to share your experience could be an eye opener for some of us or a reinforcement of how we are choosing to live right now when others might think we are over-reacting is justified. You remain in my prayers and there will always be time for you roll out the content you planned for when you are ready and able!
Thank you, Lynne!
I’m so sorry for what you are going through. Wishing you a speeding recovery. It will get better and the best thing to do now is concentrate on getting better and move forward from it. Sending you strength to get through this difficult time.
So very sorry....I pray you continue to improve and feel better everyday. Thank you for sharing this difficult journey with you community.💗
You are in my prayers! I am so sorry, (and angry at irresponsible people), that this has happened to one of the nicest, kindest youtubers. Please just take care of yourself and get well soon. We will still be here for you! 💗🙏😊
I am so sorry that you are going through this. I wish you a speedy recovery.
Oh no so sorry to learn you got it. I am hoping you recover soon and feel better soon. Will be keeping you in my thoughts and sending you love and light.
So sorry that you are sick, and also how it impacted your relationship with his family. I think this time has brought out the best and worst in people. I wish everyone would take this much more seriously. I will keep you in my prayers.
You can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends. I’m really sorry that you have to get through this, which was not needed if people were not so selfish.
I have been chronically ill, with more then 1,5 years of that in a room without lights only been able to eat and go to the bedroom. So i know how hard this is, glad you spoke about the topic about being chronically ill. You will get beter, but a lot of people are still struggling every day even without covid.
Get well soon
I am so sorry you got sick and this happened! I am glad you posted this. I have a chronic illness and at increased risk but feel the pressures of family gatherings. Your message was a good reminder to take care of yourself and immediate family first and not give in to expectations of others.
Sarah I’m so sorry to see you going through this. So grateful that your husband recovered quickly and is able to help you through this rough time. Wishing you a speedy recovery from here on. Shame on that family for their gross negligence. Thankful Jake’s grandpa didn’t get it also. I’m so proud of you for sharing this, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable with us. Please be kind and gentle with yourself x
Thank you, Keri!
I watch you for years and never comment. Thanks , this video is very informative. I feel so sorry for you. I wish you a speedy recovery. Greetings from NYC 👍🏼🇵🇷🗽😍
Aww, thank you for commenting and for all of your kindness!
so very sorry you are going thru this! prayers for a full recovery very soon!
Holy crow Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear you're sick, how scary
Thank you, Karly!
I'm seeing this 10 months later (didn't find your channel until recently) and am so sorry you went through this and thrilled you came out of it okay. I do hope that you or your husband have fully recovered and aren't suffering from long-haulers syndrome. I'm also sorry that members of your family were so careless. Sending so much love. Stay well!
Thank you so much, Suzanne! We have fully recovered, fortunately.
So very sorry Sara that you have to go through this. Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. Prayers and virtual hugs from Israel.
Thank you, Hadassa!
Sarah i’m so sorry that you have had to ho through this terrible experience, the lack of compassion from the virus spreaders is unbelievable! Wishing you a speedy recovery and hope you feel better as each day comes xx
I hope your feeling better today Sarah xx
Thank you, Claire! I do feel a bit better today!
Oh nooooo! Sending so much love Sarah I hope you get better soon!!!! You are loved
I am so so sorry for what you are going through. I'll be thinking of you and I hope you have better days soon. Thank you so much for your bravery in making this video at this time in your sickness; it made such an impact on me and made this virus more real than ever. It really drove home the importance of not being around people you don't trust 100%. We just skipped out on a relative's 50th wedding anniversary party and heard how we were the only ones not there. Just thank you. I hope you are able to update us with how you feel in the next few days. ❤️
Very brave of you to share this with us ♥ I wish you a full recovery very soon and send huge hugs of wellness from the South of England 🤗 I have long term health issues and you brighten 🔆 my day with your videos and thoughful content. I hope all the messages help brighten your day and bring you strength ♥
Thank you so much for this lovely comment, Kathryn! 💕
Bless your heart. Know I just lifted you up in prayer. Our daughter is a COVID nurse in South Texas and it breaks our hearts to see how people are not taking this seriously! Hang in there!
Thank you for your kindness and to your daughter for her service in this pandemic!
I'm so sorry, Sarah. I pray you are healing faster these last three days since you posted this. Im in your monthly group (Chris) and take all the time you need to recover.
Thank you, Chris! I am starting to feel better!
My heart aches for you! Stay strong & fight to beat this scary & horrible disease! Sending prays & well wishes your way ❤❤❤❤
I am so sorry to hear what happened to you and Jake. I hope you continue to heal and get better each day❤️😢
Thank you for making the effort to share your experience so candidly, especially when you are still feeling bad. I hope what you have had to endure may possibly prevent someone else from being exposed in the manner which you and Jake were. Take care.
Bless your sweet heart! Take good care! I had it in April, but because I've had autoimmune disorder since I was very young, this was just a regular day in the life. Lots of love from The Hague!
Thank you! I'm sorry to hear that you had to deal with it!
I'm so glad you are feeling just a little better!! How selfish & irresponsible people can be especially during a world wide pandemic is amazing to me. I'm still choosing to self quarantine not going anywhere except to pick up groceries with one exception of having to take my dog to the vet and they were taking excellent precautions. I'm very blessed to work remotely. I do understand that others can't stay home even if they wanted to and I feel for them. I'm immuno-compromised so I've been pretty stricked about staying home. Prayers to you and anyone affected. Get well soon!!
Sarah, I'm so sorry. I'm sending you lots of positive energy and vibes. I hope you feel better! Please get well soon!
Thank you so much, Mariela!
Thank you for sharing this video as difficult as it's been for you. I'm so sorry for this awful situation and feel so sobered that someone so young and strong as yourself can be affected so badly. Hugs to you and prayers for your recovery. Maybe Jake's family members just feel so guilty and awful they are having denial so not reaching out? Not that it's an excuse... Much love, you will come out stronger for this.
Thank you, Natashya!
That's horrible! I truly hope you are back to 100% better real soon!
Thank you for sharing your experience. I feel so bad for you! It teaches me to be much more careful! I hope the rest of your recovery goes quickly and smoothly!
Sending you a big virtual hug!!! ❤️🤗 You are so brave to make this video. Everyone needs these reminders to stay safe. Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ sending good vibes your way ❤️ ❤️❤️🙏
I’m so sorry you got sick that way! It’s awful how folks can be so cold and indifferent. We were sick with it back in May and it was miserable my poor husband had it way worse and I was very concerned for a couple of days for his life! I hope and pray you get well soon!
Thank you, Kate! I'm sorry you and your husband had to deal with it as well!
Get well soon! So sorry this happened to you but thank you for raising awareness!
So sorry you are going through this, I hope you’re feeling much better soon 💛
I am so sorry! I’m glad you have support! Feel better soon! ❤️
Thank you, Nikki!
Thank you for sharing your experience. We made a conscious choice not to go to a large family gathering because of this reason.
I'm so sorry you and your hubby have had to go through this. Prayers and healing thoughts for you both.❤
