[quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, hugs from an internet stranger. I lost a loved one to COVID last week. About your dad's age. 2.5 weeks from waking up one day with a fever, to death. Mercifully, I was allowed two bed-side visits. I realized then and now that those visits were a tremendous blessing. Before that, I hadn't seen her, and I was imagining all sorts of horrible scenarios. But during both my visits, my loved one was peaceful, calm, "with it" and aware, with no labored breathing/coughing, and not at all in distress. I was so relieved to see that. In fact, she looked so good that I thought she might actually pull through. But she died hours after my second visit. You weren't able to see your dad and so of course you are imagining the worst, the way I was. Instead, I would like you to imagine the other possibility - that your dad went out the way my loved one did, peacefully, calmly, and just eventually drifting to sleep. [/quote]
