Papa lost his battle to COVID-19 today ~ prayers needed for my family

Fuck outta here with this bs

Old people die everyday.

I'm sorry for your lost.

But don't politicalize it.

Bill gates is in glee over your covid nonsense

What was his blood type?

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. :(

I wish I would have thought of that for both my aunt and my mama!

I'm not sure but can try to find out

I have my Mom’s cologne too and a few of her sweaters bagged up

When she first died I would be walking through my house and I would hit a patch of her scent, I could literally walk in and out of it but it would vanished in seconds

But at one point there was one area in my house that had her scent for over two weeks, it was in the room where I had put her coffee table that she loves so much, lol her prized MacKenzie -Child’s table

Treasure the small reminders!

Might be important to know that answer Simp

He had the ground-glass opacity in his lungs on imaging.

So a 78 year old dies from something like the flu, let's just shut everything down, have internal passports and be forced to take a vaccine. Sorry for your loss, but people that age die all the time.
It may not have even been covid. Doctors are being forced to put covid down as the cause of death for evey older person who dies. I hate to be harsh, but a 78 year old dieing is not reason to throw our Republic away and install a Soviet type tyranny.

Sorry for your loss, I am sure he is in a better place now.

Aww man, sorry to hear that. Here is the soundtrack of the day my own father passed away (some 2-3 decades ago), which brought me great comfort (and still makes me choke up, as if he was with me)
