sat here with tears in my eyes and heart broken. partner Tee suddenly took a turn for the worse some time today and sadly passed away this evening from Covid related symptoms.

the worse thing is not been there for them but at least the nurse was there till the end.

this just shows how serious and dangerous the virus is as this happened 14 days from diagnoses and things looked to be going okay.


i am on my own here with absolute no support but the hospital have told me to ring anytime and a doctor is calling sometime tomorrow.

anyone feel free to private message if you want. i thank all those who have sent kind messages over the last weeks.
 
I am so so sorry to hear this @mikeydt1. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Please know that we are hear for you and you are very welcome to message any time!

I hope the doctor provides some assurance. It is quite frightening how serious the virus can get so fast and I think some people seem to forget the risk it poses.

Once again, I am so sorry for your loss but please do not suffer in silence. Reach out to the forum as I am sure someone will always be willing to listen.
 
Hi Mikeydt1 I’m so sorry to hear your partner died. It’s so hard having Covid and not being able to see loved ones. I know it’s been really tough for my family not being able to see me except on phone.
I have had some lovely people caring for me as I am sure your partner did too.
Covid is taking so many people. There are various organisations that can support you. Even just talking to the Samaritans as they are always there to support people. Also Silverline, aimed at 55 +
Take care ok
 
Oh Mikey, I am so very sorry. I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling. I will be keeping you in my thoughts! XX
It seems so totally trivial in the circumstances but sending (((hugs)))
 
Plus sending you a virtual hug
 
So sorry, Mikey.
 
So terribly sorry to hear this and what an awful shock it must have been for you. This virus is so dreadful and taking so many loved ones. My deep sympathies are with you and please please keep in touch with us all so we can help support you through this very sad time x
 
Oh @mikeydt1 I am so so sorry

I am absolutely heartbroken for you.

Please be kind to yourself, and give yourself time. Do you have friends or family locally?

When my wife died after a short encounter with cancer in 2018 I was amazed at the amount of admin and paperwork that followed, just at the time when your head was really not in the right space.

Do ask the hospital if they have any support networks, or know of any local charities that might be able to help you.

My suggestion would be to make some lists. You will need to go through the formal things like registering and certifying the death, and dealing with wills etc. You can use the ‘tell it once’ system to help with government, council and tax. You will also need to go through banks, building societies, insurance, and any ‘things’ that your partner did as part of your marriage together. Your partner’s address book will be helpful too in notifying contacts.

Then you will need to start planning the funeral.

In time some sort of counselling might be helpful too. And do reach out to charities and your GP if you are starting to struggle.

We are here for you. And support is available, but it’s not always easy to find.

Deepest sympathies for your loss.
