My cousin Stella died yesterday from COVID-19.
She was 96, and had been in a care home, somewhere near Shrewsbury, I think.
She is the first person that I know to have died from this wretched virus. It brings it all much closer to home.
96 was a good innings; it's a shame that she had to bowled-out by this awful COVID.
Sorry to hear this, it's sad anyway but somehow more so in these circumstances.
ReplyDeleteI was told this morning that the virus is raging through the care homes because of patients sent there to convalesce after recovering from it in hospital. Heartbreaking if true.
I am very sorry to hear this Cro. My condolences to you and to her family.
ReplyDeleteCondolences Cro, as you say a good innings but agree it's so sad to be taken by this virus.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss. It makes COVID 19 seem closer and more horrible.
ReplyDeleteSorry to for the loss of your cousin Stella.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for your loss, Cro.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this.
ReplyDeleteIt's creeping closer to all of us :-(
Very sorry to hear this - how sad. The deaths in Nursing homes has been shocking - my province has had to call in the military to help as we have had more than half of our deaths in Nursing & Long Term Care homes. New rules are going into effect now and this will be the real area of investigation once things ease a bit.
ReplyDeleteThat is very sad. People in care homes are vulnerable right now.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear she died from covid 19.
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss.
Good innings indeed. I do thank my lucky stars that I have chosed not to go into a care home but manage at home, albeit slowly.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this Cro, my condolences. Unfortunately care homes seem to be the worst places to be right now. I hope she didn't suffer too much.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, Cro. There is a cruelty to these deaths of people who have survived so much, to be wiped out by a nasty, invisible virus.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for your loss!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry
ReplyDeleteSorry for tour loss Cro.
ReplyDeleteSorry to read this.

ReplyDeleteSo many people have not known somone who has died
ReplyDeleteThat's why the lockdown is failing
I can only echo every one else and say so sorry. At any age this is awful that this is the thing that is happening now and is so scary for all and especially in care homes.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear. You are my first blog mate who has said they knew someone who had the disease.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear of the loss of your cousin. No matter the age to be taken by this terrible virus is a tragedy.
