Having contracted covid myself and watching my household members suffer from the virus was horrible. But seeing that it took the life of my aunt and her son less than 2 hours apart was pure agony. The hospital live streamed their video and allowed family members to say goodbye while the doctors took them off life-support. Watching two of your loved ones die, when only a few weeks ago they were alive, is pure agony. You feel so helpless. I couldn’t even attend their burial because I was stuck at home in isolation.
You take life for granted. I know I did. It gnaws my insides knowing that I never told my aunt and cousin how much I loved them. I’ll carry this guilt to my grave, but I’ve promised myself that I’ll never hold back in showing my friends and family how much I appreciate and care about them. Covid has taught me a major life lesson.
Covid is such a cruel disease. I was reading somewhere that it causes a double ache because humans need to share our grief and the isolation that Covid creates denies people a chance to properly mourn.
