[quote=Anonymous]It’s been about a month since my 79 yr old dad died from covid. He wasn’t practicing all the precautions he should’ve been  especially being at high risk. Age, 40 lbs overweight etc..  He was shocked when he tested positive after he started feeling “weird”, he said.  Hospital few days later, ventilation 5 days later, kidney failure 2 weeks later, died 3 weeks after entering the hospital.  I talked to him the first few days in the hospital and  he sounded fine and he didn’t seem too worried.  My issue is I can’t come to terms with his death. I can’t stop thinking about how he must’ve been feeling laying there without being able to see us. His children, his wife of 60 yrs, grandchildren. It keeps going through my mind over and over of him laying there thinking about his family and  wondering why none of us was there to hold his hand.  It’s devastating each time I think about it and I just cry all the time.  I almost wish he had Alzheimer’s or something so he wouldn’t have had  a clue of what was going on. It’s so heartbreaking I’m not sure if I’ll ever get over the way he died in isolation. [/quote]
