[quote=Anonymous]I'm really sorry, OP.  I can somewhat relate.  My dad died at the end of March, not of COVID, but of a very recent illness and the hospital protocols were such that he was by himself for most of the last two weeks and my mom was only allowed in when they took him off life support (and she couldn't stay until he died, after some hours she had to use the restroom and the protocols were such that once she left his room and removed PPE she couldn't come back).  I definitely haven't come to terms with it, and I have a nearly physical reaction every time I let my mind wander to this time.  I will say, over the months, the frequency with which I think about it has faded a bit (but not so much my reaction when I do) as I've come to focus more on his life and less on the specifics of his death.  I'm in therapy, but we haven't delved in to this one (but it may be helpful for you).

All that to say, I understand and I think there are many of us who are feeling this way.  Sending healing thoughts. [/quote]
