To be a parent and not to be able to be with your child in hospital must be devastating and something you would never get over.
There are some extremely sad stories.

This is heart wrenching it makes me feel very angry also. It is the lack of PPE, if there was enough, a mother would be given PPE to be with and comfort their child in their last moments. How can anyone stand by and see this happen. It's inhumane. I know they cannot provide it for all relatives but for the mother of a child who is critical, surely exceptions can be made. 🤔🤔
Hear hear.
I think that this is possibly something that does not happen in every situation.
I know these are exceptional circumstances but I have read of families who have been allowed to spend time with a loved one when that person was not expected to live. Certainly for a child I would be shocked if a request from parents to be with their child was rejected. These are exceptional times and exceptions can be made.
However I would also like to reassure that after 35 yrs as a nurse I never once saw a patient without someone to be with them at the end unless it was totally unexpected or happened when the patient was peaceful and sleeping.
It's heartbreaking news. I sometimes think my life's hard but reading stuff like this makes me realize it's not that bad.
So sad for someone to die so young. Please please God I pray for a better world with less suffering. I see suffering all around me and I can't do anything to change it. 😥😥😥
Hi Longsider,
Indeed that's one of the most harrowing things imaginable for anyone to have to go through. There are so many sorrows being endured by so many people in horrible circumstances. It shows how seriously we must be to protect ourselves from this vicious virus that has no mercy. It seems bitter to me that such things affect most of us so deeply and yet others still flout authority and try to do as they please by breaking rules and congregating outside. What more could it possibly take to make them understand how important distancing is, than that it is too dangerous for parents to be with their child in his last moments?
God rest his soul. Such a shame and so young. May he rest in peace. 🙏 Condolences to his parents.
