My mother was diagnosed with corona, she has been having health issues anyway, in and out of hospital, being stubborn with her meds etc. Now I know it wasn’t the virus itself that has caused her to pass but it helped it along and to have the doctor call you up an hour ago and say she has died but you need to decide who gets to see her is so hard to deal with. I already display mild symptoms and high risk so i had no choice but to step back plus my son wasn’t going to drive me to the hospital as he knows it would not have been wise, but it still doesn’t make it any of this easier.

My anger with all this is because of this, besides only one of us out my sisters and I can see her, she was a devout Christian and she will not be able to have a church ceremony, she was very popular in the community and it will literally only be the immediate family. I don’t like big crowds etc so whilst a small funeral with literally just my 2 sisters and the kids would suit me it doesn’t quite seem right.

Yes I know there’s nothing anyone can do about it and I totally understand why things are the way they are but it sucks.

Sorry about your Mum, OP Flowers

Im ever so sorry for your loss :'(
I dont even know what to say :'(

HumpHumpWhale · 27/03/2020 15:50

I'm so sorry. When this is over, perhaps you could have a memorial service?

MitziK · 27/03/2020 15:52

Condolences.

Perhaps later on in the year, you could arrange a memorial service/mass for her? After all, whilst from the point of view of Christianity, her soul will be absolutely fine with the service you're able to have right now, it does sound as though one would be appropriate at time when they are possible.

hoxtonbabe · 27/03/2020 15:58

I can’t even go out to get a bit of air, stuck in my bloody flat, was going stir crazy before all this, so this has just added to my going craziness.

I am so, so sorry, I can’t find the right words.

I’d think, once this virus has passed churches might encourage prayers to be said for individuals who couldn’t have the funerals that families would normally organise, if she was part of the church community it might comfort you a little or people might organise their own deferred ceremonies and get togethers in memory.

That doesn’t help right now though. I truly am sorry for your loss.

hoxtonbabe · 27/03/2020 15:59

Thank you for your condolences. I will put the later in the year memorial idea to my sisters as that would seem most appropriate

Flowers I'm so sorry, OP.

middleager · 27/03/2020 16:03

I'm so sorry too OP Flowers
Light a candle for her tonight and ask her friends to do the same if you can.Flowers

When this is done organise a fitting tribute to her.

Harriett123 · 27/03/2020 16:03

I'm so sorry for your loss.
We just buried my MIL today ( she didn't die from coronovirus)
We had only immediate family ( and the vicor) there for a graveside service. It was actually quite a nice intimate send off.
Like a pp suggested there will be a proper memorial service for others to pay there respect once the restrictions are lifted.

I hope this helps. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

yearinyearout · 27/03/2020 16:15

Sorry for your loss. Will you be able to plan a memorial service for a later date?

Michelleoftheresistance · 27/03/2020 16:15

I'm so sorry Flowers

MsAwesomeDragon · 27/03/2020 16:18

I'm so sorry for your loss 💔
An intimate funeral now with a memorial later in the year seems like the best plan. It's all so unfair!

PonderTweek · 27/03/2020 16:20

I'm so sorry for your loss. Flowers

So sorry to read this. So very sorry.

Isadora2007 · 27/03/2020 16:28

A memorial service would be lovely to plan for a special date in the future and other people will also probably appreciate the chance to share their condolences and their memories of her. And you will also hopefully take some comfort from them. Flowers

Dumakey · 27/03/2020 16:28
