Cristina Pappadake-Gomez lost her sweet and loving father, Gregg Pappadake, to Covid-19. Her story is full of depth and emotion. Please make the time to listen and honor her grief and her beloved Dad's life. They both truly deserve the acknowledgment. Grieving amidst a pandemic has already taken so much from them.
Cristina found my Grieve Me Alone Instagram account, and on the day I had drafted and posted about these future mask designs I had in store for the following month's shop update, Cristina commented on that post, shared that she lost her dad to Covid-19, and I was so moved by her story that I stopped what I was doing, completely rearranged my day, and devoted hours to working on getting the masks out before I got up from my computer. Thus, the masks dropped way ahead of schedule, and once they were available on the shop, I tagged Cristina and she purchased a "My Dad Died. That's Why I'm Like This." mask.
Cristina appeared on several news segments: NBC NYC, NBC News LA interview with Lester Holt, & 11Alive, sharing about her darling dad and why she wears a mask. Cristina is an advocate and public speaker. You can follow her blog www.lifedeathfoodandsex.com or email her directly at lifedeathfoodandsex@gmail.com
