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.

Thank you all.

To be honest it isn’t that she died that is killing me, death is the one thing that is guaranteed and not much we can do about it, she was 82 and in a lot of pain, the last 6 months of her life had seriously deteriorated, but she lived a long and mostly happy life and under normal circumstances we would have dressed in white, and had a celebration of her life as that is what we do in my culture but because of this corona shite it’s made it a weird, extra somber affair.

She at least had her affairs in order, she’s more or less paid for everything and she’s to be buried with dad, I dread to think how all the arrangements could have been done if we had to do it all from scratch and all 3 sisters are supposed to be in GP ordered isolation or immunosuppressive
