My dad died.

[Natsel84]

Just that really . He died Thursday, of covid . He went into hospital on the 6th October for an unrelated problem . He caught covid Monday and died Thursday morning. We weren't able to be by his side in his last few hours .
I am beyond angry .

@Crunchymum

I'm so sorry to read this.

I lost my mum very suddenly almost 5 weeks ago, I'm almost glad she dropped dead at home as we were able to be with her body afterwards (my dad and sister were with her when she died)

I can't imagine how I'd be navigating this awful grief if she'd been in hospital.

Covid has taken so much from so many.

All you can do is put one foot in front of another and do the basics (eat, drink, rest)

Sadly Corona-Fucking-Virus makes funerals and being together as a family difficult but do what you have to do. If you need to be with loved ones, be with them.

Thank you . Im sorry for your loss also . My dad didn't deserve the death he had. Without his family by his side .

I am so sorry. One day at a time

I am so sorry for your loss. Am thinking of you and your family

My uncle went in to hospital in June with what we thought was a short term illness. He died there 2 weeks later. We were unable to visit him and I was unable to attend his funeral ( different town) . It will stay with me forever. So I really am thinking of you.

I’m so sorry OP, I know how you are feeling as recently lost someone the same way, except after catching it in hospital they then transferred her to a care home whilst still positive
My thoughts are with everyone who has lost someone 💐

So sorry for your loss OP

I'm so sorry

You don’t expect to go into hospital with bladder problems in your 60s and die. It’s a tragedy but I do think that some hospitals/wards are going to be covid hotspots.

I do think nhs staff should be swabbed frequently even if asymptomatic. To try and reduce spread. There’s a lot of youngish staff who could potentially have no symptoms and then spread it, coupled with a lack of social distancing between staff and patients and patients not wearing masks it’s a recipe for disaster.

So very sorry to hear this, how totally heartbreaking. I can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through right now

So sorry, OP.

Sorry for your loss and the other pp.

We just don't seem to have the infection control in uk. Too many wards really

I'm so sorry for your loss

I am so very sorry OP, I can't imagine what you are going through. I wish people would think hard about the consequences of their actions. Wanting some normality I can understand but midnight raves and carrying the virus home (and no I don't just mean Uni students) is unnecessary and selfish. My saying atm is 'you may enjoy your party tonight but consider you may then be attending a funeral in two weeks time'

I am so so sorry.

Didn't want to read and run. At a loss of what to say apart from I'm so sorry for your loss. Life shouldn't be this way. Stay strong

@Natsel84 I lost my father very suddenly in his late sixties as well. I'm so very sorry, we were all knocked absolutely sideways by it so I know how you and your family must be reeling right now.

This year has been very cruel. Cherish your memories and please don't let the circumstances of his death be the dominating memory. Easier said than done. When my dad died of short term cancer it took me a long time to not allow those months to dominate but now they don't, I remember him. As he was before. Like you, I wish he was here.

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss. This is terrible. hugs

I want to hug you , I have heard of so many getting it in the hospital I can't understand why they don't use the nightingales for covid patients !! I know no staff .., I don't blame you being angry my darling I would to

Big big hugs x

I'm so so sorry for your loss. You clearly adore your dad and he will have known that. I'm so sorry that you couldn't be there.

Natsel84 I am so, so sorry for your loss. You must be heartbroken. I lost my lovely, kind dad 2 months ago - he had a miserable brief stay in hospital due to a UTI, where he had a complete lack of care ( he told us how awful it was when he came out...bit we didn't see it as we weren't allowed to visit) but at least we got him home before he died. He didn't have COVID, but is seems the lack of staff was a consequence of it.
This is such a horrid time - I struggle to get past how miserable he must have been in hospital, but am trying to focus on what a brilliant dad he was. Sending hugs xx

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. There are no words

My dad-in-law also died today in hospital at 11.30. He had a fall yestday and developed sepi. Luckily my husband and I were able to be with him at the end. He was 82 and had become very frail so not such a huge shock. We had been cared for him for some time so it feels an odd mixture of sad and a relief.
I am sorry for everyone’s loss.

I am so, so sorry @Natsel84Natsel84
And for you as well, @JustanotherTuesday

I'm so sorry for your loss
