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 .

my DM died of Covid 6 months ago tomorrow in a care home, from start of symptoms to her going was 3 days, we hadn’t seen for almost 2 months due to lockdown. It’s a horrible time, much love to you and your family xx

I'm so sorry to hear of the sudden loss of your dad, sending hugs.

I'm so deeply sorry for your loss.

My DF died last week, he had a brief, brutal illness of 5 weeks, 2 in hospital where we couldn't visit, he was to be sent home with palliative care and tested positive for Covid the day he went home so him and my DM self isolated at home for 2 weeks and he died a week later, I'm in complete shock and feel terrible guilt that we couldn't be with him in his last weeks. DD has now been told to self isolate as she has been in contact with a confirmed case at school and will have to miss his funeral, I feel like I can't breathe.

It's just the most dire of times and I hope you find the strength to get through the days and weeks ahead

My dad didn't deserve the death he had. Without his family by his side

He didn't deserve that, I'm sorry. You and your family didn't deserve it either.

I'm just speechless at how many of you have lost parents and weren't able to be with them. Doctors stopping people visiting but then patients still catching covid in hospital. There is something very wrong there.

Condolences to you all .

So sorry for your loss OP. No words will make it easier but my thoughts are with you. You can’t have love without the pain of loss and the intense pain you feel right now is the flip side of love.

Take extra good care of yourself.

I’m so sorry. How utterly heartbreaking. Xxx

So sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry

I'm so very sorry.

Really sorry OP. I can understand your anger, my grandad died of Covid in hospital after going in for something else (and was getting better) and on his death certificate the doctor wrote ‘not (underlined) acquired in hospital’!! How he knew that is a mystery to me. Obviously there is some amazing care but I think some hospitals are getting a way with a lot with families not being able to visit. It’s really tough.

I'm so sorry about your dad. That's really cruel and you must be devastated. I really am so very sorry.

sunshinecake you've hit the nail on the head there. There are no visitors in hospitals yet people are still going in and catching it there and dying as a result. Something is radically wrong with the system that is in place if this is happening.

Very sorry to hear about your dad
Mine died a few months ago. I understand how you feel.

I'm so sorry. Try to focus on the positives while he was here.
It is a horrible situation my DM died of Covid19 in April. We weren't able to be with her either she was childlike and was so scared.
I won't allow myself think of her end.
I am really really sorry for your loss take care of yourself, people will be kind it helps.

@UncomfortableSilence I'm sorry.
Condolences to all pp's suffering.

I’m so sorry to hear this.

Sending you lots of love. What a horrible shock, look after yourself and allow yourself this time to grieve xx
I remember feeling rushed to put a brave face on when my dad passed suddenly.

I’m so sorry

Very sorry for your loss OP and all the losses on this thread.

I'm so sorry for your loss

The same thing happened to my Dad in April. Also in a healthcare setting where covid got in. I remember the anger and the shock, it is so unfair. Especially when he was in a place where he was supposed to be safe and looked after.

I'm glad you have family around you. Over time the shock will subside and the good memories will come to the fore.
