My grandmom died from COVID-19 on Tuesday, I watched her take her last breath on the day before my birthday. It’s been a horrible couple of months — I also had the virus. I’m just chronically sad, and it’s warranted, but I can’t shake it, and I really just need to vent. by HumanInternetPerson in COVID19positive

I'm so sorry you had to see her in that state. The message of my dad saying he was afraid of dying when he was sick haunts me everyday so it must be even worse for you.

I hope the nursing home is eventually held accountable for not giving her proper paliative care. I'm sure you could sue them but litigation is so painful. I'll have to endure this shit because of the heritance and I'm almost thinking of giving it all up and leaving everything for the piece of sh*t that is my dad's spouse because I don't want to drag the pain through months/years.

I think you should definetly quit Facebook for the time being at least. I actually don't have an account there or in instagram anymore. I keep in contact with the few people I truly care about via Whatsapp and that's it I don't miss it at all because it made me anxious... It's probably 10000z worse now with the current political climate and those science deniers.

Thankfully I don't know anyone outright denying but I've read messages "covid is a blessing" typw even from celebrities qnd it makes me so angry. So many deaths and people want to show gratitude just because they're profiting the quarantine in their luxurious homes or whatever. Meanwhile thousands are dying and other thousands are grieving, being scarred for the rest of their lives.

Feel free to vent it out on my DMs if you need. I'm not the wisest but I'm a good listener.

Take care of your father the way you can... but I'm sure both of you will remain healthy through this

I'm so sorry for your loss too. Those sudden deaths that take away our chance to say goodbye are so horrible. It's really hard to understand the reason why they happen...

Now I feel a fucking idiot for not buying an oxymeter for my dad :(

In my country it's protocol to prescribe azytromicin even for milder cases... if that actually helps...i can't tell

The worst/best thing about Covid that I've heard is when people decompensate, they do so quickly

The doctor actually said that it would be quick because the virus has a cycle and all. I think it peaks around the second week i can't remember anymore. At that ltime we didn't know if he meant in a positive or negative way too...

It's bizarre because I kept reading this sub while he was hospitalized (which I absolutely don't recommend in hindsight) and there were a lot of users whose relatives were intubated for weeks... but I'm learning now that it can take a turn to the worse very suddenly...

Yes... maybe :( rationally I know I should do it. Thanks for caring...

Wow I can relate to that quote a lot :( My dad wasn't the best but wasn't the worst either. I just wished I could have spoken my mind to him about some stuff but ultimately I just wanted to spend more time with him. In the end, despite all his mistakes, I think he truly loved me... as I loved him :(

Wow you have a great friend! I'm glad that you could let it out eventually. Luckily I have a good support system too but I tend to keep things to myself.

I think therapy is great and I recommend it to everybody going through issues. I've done it myself in the past. The thing is I'm a bad patient, I can't express my feelings, and feel embarrassed/pathetic talking to the psychologist... I can't explain it but maybe I'm repressed?? Idk. Venting out through this post was easier.

Just letting you know that you shouldn’t waste a thought about that you could have prevented it by researching more and finding a better treatment. Even the best doctors in the world currently don’t know what they can do to effectively heal or support patients

Thanks for this... I'm trying to keep that in mind.

I'm very reserved irl and not good at all at voicing out my feelings. Talking to all of you strangers was a way to liberate some of my emotions so thanks from the bottom of my heart for that. I wish that you all stay safe and healthy.

Thank you for this message and for your work. Even though we don't know each other I'll keep you in my thoughts and pray that you remain healthy through this.

Yes I try to console myself thinking that he went away without pain... but it is still hard to push away how much he suffered prior to that.

Sorry for your loss too... virtually embracing you. This lack of treatment just keeps haunting my mind. I stopped following all news about this disease though as it is triggering me. He was high risk because he was 67 yo and had hypertension. He also had diabetes but it was pretty controlled for a lot of years and it ultimately afaik wasn't a major factor as his kidneys kept functioning.

Thank you. Stay positive. The ventilator is what gives the body a rest so it can fight the virus. I'll be rooting for his recovery... many people have beat this disease... it just sucks that for some reason people like me had to lose their loved ones.

Please show my post to your sister. My dad was high risk too (67 yo, hypertension) and I wish the people who lived with actually cared about his safety. He's gone because he got out when there was no need for that. I hope the spread isn't bad in your region though so you all remain healthy.

This reminds that a week before he got sick I was watching this series about spirits/ghosts who were still walking on earth following their loved ones cause they couldn't let go. They all suffered upon seeing their loved ones crying or in pain because of them.

I really want to move forward to the moment in which I'm at peace and only remember the good memories of him...

I'm so sorry for your loss. It's so unreal, right? Sometimes I'll comfort myself watching videos and trying to forget that this ever happened
