He was pretty bad off when he went to the hospital from what Simple27 told us

Oh, Simple. I am so very sorry for your loss. No words will help, but I am sending prayers for healing and understanding for you & your family at this time. I hope you can be of comfort for your mama, as well in this time. May the Creator Grace you and the Goddess Bless you during this trial.

With a broken heart I share the news of the passing of my grandfather (papa) due to COVID-19 complications. My family is so devastated right now and we all need some prayers.

Due to the current restrictions, this incredibly wonderful man died without any of us being able to be by his side. That part hits me the hardest. My nanny (grandmother) is shattered. They were together since they were 13 years old. They were just as in love now as they were then. They were the perfect example of true love. Nanny has been sleeping with one of his t-shirts while he has been in the hospital.



A little history...

Papa started having symptoms on Monday, March 23rd. By Thursday, March 26th the symptoms had gotten bad and my nanny had to call 911. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital where he was admitted and officially tested for the virus. He tested positive.

Nanny had given me papa's online patient portal login information while he was in the hospital which is why I have access to that above screenshot.

Friday, March 27th they had to put him on oxygen and by Sunday, March 29th he was on a ventilator. There have been so many ups and downs since the 29th. Even more so in just this past week. But today the doctor said papa's body had stopped fighting and that they were going to take him off the ventilator as there was nothing more they could do for him. He said it wouldn't be long after papa came off the ventilator, and he was correct sadly. Papa passed away within hours. They said they kept him sedated and comfortable.

Papa didn't deserve this painful, lonely death. He was 78 years old, mostly healthy. He has a great-grandson being born in July (my sister's baby).

I just ask that you keep us in your thoughts and prayers. This is so very hard. Even harder because we can't be together during this time. :(

She’s been sleeping with his t-shirt for his scent?
That’s one of those unforgettable things you hear.
Sounds like he had a great life.
