Andrea – a Queenslander – and her husband had taken their two youngest sons to Germany (the country where she was born) in early 2019, and was there when the pandemic was declared in March 2020. While she stayed in Germany with her sons, her husband returned to Queensland to be near their oldest son, who was in university and to look after his business interests, but was back and forward between Australia and Europe. Deciding it was better to stay put in Germany, it was in March 2021 that Andrea had no choice but to come back to Australia with her middle son. Her husband had passed away suddenly five weeks after volunteering to complete hotel quarantine with her youngest son, who had wanted to come home in January. She didn't get back until June 2021. This is Andrea's story.
