Yes, we believe the lockdowns had something to do with it all. Maybe other things, who knows for sure. but so sad. Always wondering if there was something we could have seen or done to stop it. Heartbreaking. They are free from pain, but those still here suffer.

Funny you should mention seeing him around. About a week after he died, I was sitting in my living room in Colorado at the time looking out my window at a tree that had no pine needles on it at the top. There was a large bird sitting right at the top of it, looked like a hawk at first since we had so many out there, then I kept looking at it & it was much larger with a white chest, maybe an eagle? I didn't want to get up & open the door as I knew it would fly away at the sound of the door opening & seeing me, but I gave up & opened the door to my deck...as I walked out onto the deck it flew from the top of that tree right down in front of me & continued on. I believe that was him saying I'm here & okay & now I can fly anywhere. Will never forget that. Hope to "see" him again somewhere.
