I feel absolutely terrible for everyone who’s lost a loved one or lost their life to this horrific virus.
They should've stayed at home instead of being out protesting people going back to work so they can feed their kids.
Do you feel the same way, everyday with the 2.9 million people die per year in America? No, you only care because some mainstream media source cramatizes the death of some random person. Get over yourself, stop being a drama queen.
@@bigphillyed Why are you attacking me? And is it that hard to be at least somewhat empathetic? I think it's you who needs to get over themselves.
@@Covid--ts5cw What are you talking about? What makes you think that anyone in this family was "out protesting"? You know nothing about this family. How unkind you are to say such a thing!
@@bigphillyed As much as I understand your need to voice your opinion, I would request you to spread your vitriol somewhere else. Maybe Alex Jones is more to your liking.
We need to humanize those numbers so people can understand why healthcare workers keep asking people to stay home and wear mask.
Look at the riots now, second wave here we come ..😔😔😔
Not anymore, apparently wearing masks can keep you from getting it no matter how close you stand to each other. The protests didn't cause any spikes according to the news today.
Looks fake to me.
Rioters Aren't Protesters Yes that’s the other side of it.
not telling only cnn would say that.
I’m an old guy at 75 years old but this one made me cry like a baby.
Michael, you're not old at all. You're 75 years young.
Oh...give me a break! When it's your time to exit, be happy about it. You live a long life and enjoyed spending money.
@@Alec-Al same goes for your father
Emotion is okay, but common sense is most important. Do you really think that those whose loved ones die from cancer or perforation of an ulcer are not so worried? Because of this crownobscurantism, those who really need to be rescued and helped do not receive medical assistance. Because of this crownobscurantism, my acquaintances have a 15-year-old son who died from a perforation of an ulcer, and I know many similar cases. The death of a loved one is always a great loss, but this is part of life and this is normal, it is not normal what is happening in the world now because of the virus, from which fewer die than the WHO mortality rate from influenza, 3.2%
@@tashasworld585 ohhhhhhh violation 🤣🤣🤣
It's been 11 days since I lost my wife and daughter due to covid she is 6 months pregnant for our first baby we've been together for 8 years, we just got married last June everything seems to be going well this year until this happened! The pain is killing me everyday, I've lost my purpose in life she is the one who always motivates me to do best with everything, I've worked hard to make sure that I can provide everything that they need but all of this is nothing without them! God knows I love them more than everything!
I'm not sure if I can survive this, no one understands the pain that ive been going through everyday! Life is hard!
I’m sorry u can get through this
Be strong and brave. You have purpose in life and the world is united in showing support. I know it is very painful but God has purpose for you.
Oh, jeez man. I can't imagine what you're going through. It's impossible to be strong after two of your loved ones fell ill. But you really have to take care of yourself. Get a therapist. Remember them like you're leaving a beautiful place.
My sincerest condolences... they are in Heaven together. They are watching over you as we speak. Stay strong 🙏🏻
Aaahw Kirk, I have no words and I am very sorry for your loss. Sending a big hug from Czech Republic!
💔🥺”get up my queen The flowers are starting to bloom”😢😥😭
Rose Sables this is where I lost it. 😢

And people still say “it’s nothing and has a 99% survival rate” but if this is the cost for the 1% who doesn’t, it’s not worth ignoring! What happened to the empathy for humanity these days.
The loss of empathy in today's society is alarming. There's this pervasive idea that old or sick people are dispensable, or that they don't hold value, and that their deaths are par for the course. It's terrifying how selfish and stubborn some people are, especially when their selfishness affects those around them.
Scattered to the winds. Decent humanity may no longer exist if things don't change quickly
Exactly my thoughts....
@@jeeither The empty space that is left when Abuela Carmen dies shows how vital a person she was, how much she was integral to her families' lives, and belies this idea that "old people" are valueless.
How could one look at all those generations of people, in different countries, all deeply bound to her and think it's ok for someone her age to die of a virus rather than years later of something more natural.
It makes me very sad how right you are about a seeming lack of basic empathy for the loss of such important lives.
I´ts allways painfull when old people have to go. But the numbers are still valid. And if this is so bad with the virus, than it should be also with all other things leading to death. Most of them are man made. I feel sooo sorry for this peaple, but thats how live goes. If you reached a certain age, you will go, and the starting point is in most cases an infection. I don´t like those videos because they tell you only one truth and the mauch bigger other side is faded out. this videos tell you, that the death will come over all of us and that it will be bad, but this is not the case. this is simply not true. 99,4 - 99,9 % will not die. thats a fact.
This is the kind of news we need, that humanise all those numbers that are shown on tv without giving much thought to every individual that's going through this illnes
Oh really? So then we must televise every one of the 2.8 million Americans that die every year. I mean we should humanize natural and accidental death of everyone by your opinion. We have yet to reach the average influenza deaths per year, yet I do not see you HUMANIZING their deaths. I will never understand where you people come from.
Yeah these humans were given no dignity
Not even a name!

@@jennyhildebrand9335 okay tinfoil karen.
@Jonathan Cesari won't, the average influenza deaths per year over the last 10 years is 77K, with 200K hospitalized. Nice try tho, 12,000 to 61,000 maybe try and come up with a reasonable median. Smh. By the way the last 4 years the flu shots have not worked as they are a newer stand. But I guess you knew that already. 38,000 Americans die in automobile accidents per year with 4.4 million injuries, so should we shut everything down and stop people from driving? Grow up.
@@jennyhildebrand9335 what are you talking aboutwho murders babies in NY
I lost my father to this disease 2 weeks ago. I am currently 15 years old and my father was above 65 when he left me. I cried so much for the first few days after his death. And even at the day of death,when he was alive,looking at his position in life. I cried so much. This was a deep shock for me. This video should be played on every news channel instead of just numbers of deaths to really show people how affected families suffer :'(
Bilal Ejaz I’m so sorry. My condolences to you and your family ❤️
Im so sorry for you. may he rest in peace
I lost my great uncle to the virus
Be strong
Bilal Ejaz love you my sweet heart, stay strong.
Be a good man , never do anything wrong.
Study well.
Bless you ❤
I pray that you are doing better! There’s no stopwatch on grief. My dad passed away from Alzheimer’s in 2002 and there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t grieve his loss. For my Dad was my hero and he’s with the Lord for a reason. I get through life knowing and believing that we will all be reunited again someday. I pray for you. And I hope your dad is resting in eternal peace
My god this hits so much different when you understand the language instead of reading the subtitles. The emotions each word conveys is just heartbreaking, at least she had someone there to hold her hand as she slipped away.
Beautiful comment..Unfortunately couldn't understand the language but what's worse the tears in my eyes made it so hard to read,when I did read my queen I lost it. I hope this family is doing well. 🙌
@@luvmibratt yes, same here I cried my eyes out. I truly hope they are doing better, after all they lost the matriarch of the family and you can tell she was loved by her family.
@@esperanzaarce9563 Definitely love
I just lost my father in law caused of covid.unpredictable loss.we are oversea couldn’t see him or talked to him of his last breath.no pain can’t compare.separated no funeral is allowed now.
100 percent! I’m not even fluent and I don’t think the translations did it justice.
So many people go "it only kills old people", this video showed the depth it affects people both young and old. What a wonderful caring family she had.
And they say that ("it only kills old people") as if that's just fine. Old people are why young people walk this planet. They have decades of strength and wisdom to offer. And have just as much value as anyone else. It's amazing how many people think they will never get old, or if they do they won't look or act old. We all get That wake-up call sooner or later. Later If you are lucky.
My mother in law died 2weeks ago from this . My wife also same week almost sent me to the hospital due to covid. Lost weight due to not eating and skin turned yellow she said and my heart rate was low and not able to breath. There were times I about blacked out. I had to muster my strength to help her dying mom get help. Unfortunately she died 2days later in the hospital
THIS VIDEO IS A LIE. AND I SUSPECT YOU ARE A HIRED AGENT
@@matlabatt the only lie here is you being worth something
@@ima_psykopathpsn8411 you should. Stay on the PlayStation where you know what's what. Leave the reality and political science for the grown ups. You get your health advice from a pop up ad? Lol
I can't imagine how painful that must be. I wonder why I'm even watching this
Because we are her and she is us.
Because it puts all those stats in perspective. Theres so much d3ath and suffering surrounding us right now. That you lose the personal touch of all of this. But seeing this story reminds you that this is happening to each and every single person that makes up those stats. That theres so many broken and grieving families dealing with this. Those are the real victims. All of this reminds you that its more than just you or me or a single person to worry about. Its all of us together. And it strengthens your resolve to keep you family safe. And to help other people kerp theres as well. Losing a loved one is one of the most painful things that can happen to a person. And i certainly wouldnt wish it on anyone else.
Painful hmm its Death all will test it!
The important thing that we all should be pray to the only one God and do all our best in our life and not work for here but for the hereafter !
the good thing about death is that you will leave the pain! The unjustice life, the sadness moments, the hardnes of your Job, etc.. and start over again! But without all of that!
I wondered myself before I tapped on the video. I needed to humanize the pain these poor people are feeling, and realize up here in BC, Canada that this virus really is....REAL.
Perhaps you’re learning to accept vulnerability and feeling our collective humanity.
Sadly people still dont believe this is real. My heart and prayers go out to the families that have lost their loved ones from this horrible virus.
If only there was something that would lessen the effects 😕
@@tross8863 🐑🐑
This is real belive me im on 12 day tested positive coronovirus i have been very ill 53 underlying health issue completky stopp eating i ate yes today cud not eat or take fluid chest pain cud not breadth 3day die i cried 3 whole days avoided hospital praying my family was praying also head ear nose severly congested it horrible scary i have still not recoverd
And its so sad that today, there are vaccinations that reduce these horrible covid deaths by 99%, and people still refuse to take them.
@@dingdingding2190 Get the vaccine, it works and it's safe. Simple as that. My healthy uncle was just intubated because he also thought that the vaccine was a hoax/money grab. Well now he's fighting for his life in an ICU alone.
Knowing what they're saying brings me to tears hearing her family cry over.
@OverLord 666 You're wrong, it's not the same. You're incapable of understanding or you wouldn't have said that.
@OverLord 666 you jus did Jack! 😏
Glad they got to say good bye, hold her hand and see her. We couldn't see our loved one. They removed her tube😔 and died alone😪 like so many others. But I believe they knew they were loved and just hope it's true that the medicine helps them just go to sleep. Peace
Yeah, when the first woman was crying “aquí estoy” it made me remember my aunt’s passing. So heartbreaking
I looked up for videos like this because I lost my father, only 53 years old to covid. From the moment he went in the hospital, I no longer ever touched him, held him, hugged him. Everything I see this poor family going through on here, I went through. I watched my father die on zoom. Covid is disgusting, it’s absolutely terrible. My dad fought for a month before passing. It just breaks my heart. I miss him so much. Please everyone, stay as safe as possible.
I’m very sorry for your loss
He was killed in hospital your father!!!
Thank you for sharing. I’m sorry for your loss.
Im so sorry for your loss and for your Fathers' suffering. I am a respiratory nurse. God bless you.
@@cristinaionica3399 You are right! They are using midazolam and morphine to shut down the lungs. This happened to my father.
Yesterday we lost a 49 year old patient. He was perfect. This virus took his life in a week. Breaks my heart. He was so compliant with his treatment and never complained. Covid does NOT discriminate people. RIP Oscar😰.

If you think this was tough, just think about the nurses and doctors that have had to go through this every single day
Republicans are super pro-business to the point that it's highly unusual compared to other countries. They will just say "nurses/ doctors should just do their job because they're getting paid for it." It's sociopathic behavior.
This is their job, they had to understand what profession they chose! For doctors, death and the danger of infection are the norm of their life!
@@ЕкатеринаСмирнова-щ4е what a stupid thing to say... Just because we're doctors or medical stuff can we hadle death..?? It's our job?... Do you think is easy to watch people suffer, try to heal them but in the end die?? Do you know how hopeless we feel many times? Do you know how much effort we put on daily basis? Our job my foot.... Such idiotic comment...
@@ΠαρασκευηΚωστελιδου exactly. My mother is a retired ICU nurse, and she always warned me against being a doctor or nurse. “Being a nurse will break your heart long before it breaks your body”. She still has nightmares of some of her patients dying, or has nightmares of her family members sedated and connected to machines.
She has held so much trauma from years of nursing, and she retired just before COVID happened. Her heart is broken for all the doctors and nurses who have had to work through the pandemic.
@@katyalupochev9589 thats true! It's our job but what it means we knew... When I hear that I want to heat someone... As a doctor in emergency and now in covid ICU I overwork under terrible situations for 2 years!! My body is so so tired and many of us have phsylological problems!! We have to many patients, no beds and we're at the point of choosing who's gonna live or dye.. As for retirement... still so far away... Your mother has right! If you want to have a true life quality dont become a doctor, nurse... Or else prepare yourself for many hardships.. Stay safe!
Remind me when I lost my Dad @ the ICU when he was in a critical condition last June , the doctors said he couldn't make it, we were surrounded him by prayers, and he left us in peace .... Miss you Dad......

Thanks
I felt this same here I miss my dad every day 😔😒

I went through this same experience with my grandmother this past January. Nothing is more devastating than watching someone you love, the person who raised you, lose their battle to this virus over the course of a month. Sending hugs to all.
I just lost my grandma due to COVID this morning . My dad took it the worst . We all cried . I called my other grandma and I told her I love her .We cried and cried . My grandma was a believer in Christ and God . She is deff in heaven .
I'm sorry for your loss. bless you, your grandma, and your family..
She’s in heaven with Jesus. She’s in a better place
I am so sorry for your loss. God Bless you and your family.
This brings back the tough time I had when the doctors told me there was nothing else they could do for my mother, time heals but I never forget 🙏
Brings me back to that same day too. Grief is horrible 😕. No one will ever sympathize if they themselves experienced it.
Same. Sitting in the room with her but knowing that she really wasn't there anymore. I can't imagine how painful and sad it is for all the families to not be able to have that last physical contact. The last bit of togetherness and normalcy. I can't wrap my head around the enormity of the burden placed on the Drs, nurses & support staffs shoulders. Thank you for being so strong and caring on the family's behalf! 💙💜
Yes God bless the doctors, nurses, & staff 👍

My gradnmother's neighbor just died yesterday from CoVid-19. Watching this is tragic, knowing that there are thousands of people who have to go through this. My condolences and prayers to their family and all others affected by Covid
Do you give condolences to the 2.8 million people that die every year in the US? No you don't because you are so naive and ignorant to the fact people live and people die. But because someone took video of the process, you want to further dramatize it. Grow up and get a pair.

But hey, maybe that was wrong of me to
I just got out of the hospital last night with covid, my fiance is still in there. It will be a month before he's able to get out, this stuff is no joke! You don't know how real it is until it's somebody you love fighting for their life.
I'm so sorry that happened. Were you vaccinated. I've been hearing if breakthrough cases in the vaccinated.
This has me sobbing! She was clearly so loved by her entire family! It could happen to any of us or our loved ones. PLEASE be as safe as you can!!!
Even if a person isn't loved by anyone it's a terrible way to die having your lungs shrivel up like a petrified sponge.
My niece, fully vaccinated, died of covid a few days ago. Yes, she had other health problems too. I've lost 5 friends/family members fully vaccinated to covid. Us who had it before, have natural immunity, and are fine.
@@bidenisaracistnazi6661 did your other friends and family members that died also have and were fully vaccinated have health issues too?
Omg...me too. It is just tearing my heart out to see so much pain from those who keep losing loved ones. I will keep fighting with those who are covid deniers, just to get them to understand....if it saves ONE life, it will be worth it.
My grandmother, grandfather, uncle, and father all passed away from Covid in March 2021, my grandma passed on March 3rd, my grandfather March 4th, my uncle, March 9th, and my father March 14.
This pain is unbearable for my family especially when we never had a proper wake, service, and burial for our loved ones at all, only 4 of us were able to attend for all of them, and never would I thought this would happen to us.
Please stay safe, sanitize, keep your distance, and follow all protocols.
The next wave is coming soon and I have a feeling it will be worse than last winter/spring's wave where the virus took our loved ones.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm dealing with a lot of pain, difficulties, & grief as well, but not as much loss as you. You are incredibly strong. Keep going & I wish you much safety, love & blessings.
I'm so sad for you having to experience these losses. It is a lot for you to cope with so many deaths at once. I hope that you have started to heal now in 2023 although the grieving process is a long one. Hopefully you can now start remembering the good times you had with your loved ones. I don't know where you are in the world but the COVID pandemic is a terrible experience that we all understand. I'm sending you healing thoughts and love from Oxford, England.

Wow that is so powerful!
Dee Dee Winfrey that a lovely thing to say to help the lost of a love one but that not true if u ready the Bible n understand n believe. When u die the breath of life goes back to God but ur soul will sleep until the second coming of Christ, If u die for Jesus Christ.
Seeing this brings back tears and sad memories when we siblings have to say our final words and goodbyes last July 17 to our mother through Zoom. The ICU staff were kind enough to set up the meeting. The pain and the heartache is indescribable seeing our mom dying with not one us her 4 children at her side. We watched until she flat lined. Sic.
I’m so sorry. I know that no words can help bring her back and there is nothing that can be said to bring you comfort. I just lost my mother 3 weeks ago and it has not been easy for any of us. I pray God gives you the strength to get through this. I keep telling myself that we were lucky to have our mother as long as we did. She was 72 but still too young in my eyes to be taken away. She was older but had the soul of a child and was so much fun to be around. I miss my mother so much that my brain doesn’t understand that it actually happened.

I just pray that God can give me the strength to get through these rough times coming up.
What upsets me the most about covid is that patients in their last moments of life, whether their dying of covid or any other problem, is that hospitals don’t allow visitation during these times. Which makes all these moments so much worse by not being able to say a final goodbye in person. My prayers go out to all families in the these tough times.
My mom is currently sick with covid, and won't go to the hospital for this very reason. She is in desperate need of medical care, but refuses to go because she doesn't want to die alone.😢

You must convince her to go. She has a better chance at surviving if she is at the medical center. And she won't be alone - her deceased ancestors will come for her if and when it's her time.
I truly hope she makes it. Please convince her to go.
@@megandeeds9086 Honestly, if she is in desperate need of medical care she has a better chance of getting better with professionals than self-medicating or lack thereof. I do hope your mother makes it through this!
The nursing home I worked at, allowed 2 family members to set with resident at their bedside at the end of life.
Definitely *the* worst part of this is the inability to hold your loved one's hand as he or she dies. Also the inability to gather to mourn them.
OMG! That definitely has to be one of the hardest parts. I imagine that they're already feeling like they're being robbed of their loved one. Not being able to personally visit or gather just takes even more away from them. I'm sure there's a lot of unresolved emotional pain, grief, ptsd, and just plain old anger among the survivors. May God have mercy on them.
I wasn’t able to be there with my mom but thankfully we were able to gather and mourn her ♥️

So much could've been done to prevent so many lives lost. This is such a tragedy.
And what could have been done to prevent these deaths? Oh I have an idea of the insane reply to this comment will be. Is it a tragedy when anyone of the 2.8 million Americans that die per year? Do you honestly think about every person that dies? We live, we die, its the cycle of life, dramatizing it is naive and foolish.
Edmund Dobry caring about other people’s lives is what makes us human
Wow dude!😲Please share what more could've been done to save lives??!🤔🤨
@Connie Burnett so China telling us the number of people infected acme dead would have changed what? Would that have stopped the transmission of the virus? No it wouldn't. Hoarded PPE? There is 1.5 billion people in China, they need to worry about there own people first. If Obama and Biden didn't push manufacturing jobs out of America, we wouldn't have to worry about countries hoarding PPE. Funny how every other country in the world didn't have PPE problems. Hmmm yeah let's liberals govern again and then wonder why we can't take care of our own people.
@@bigphillyed China said to other countries / W.H.O. that there isn't any indication of person to person transmission at the same time the c.c.p. had internal communication that indicated that there was person to person transmission of virus while cornering the market on ppe (over 2 billion masks). China wasn't allowing Wuhan residents to fly to other parts of China but they let them fly to other countries. Virus probably was accidentally released from lab in Wuhan.
I lost my dad to this virus while he was in South Africa just after I'd moved to the UK. I was pregnant with a sickly baby and could not go back to see him. He was dead inside of two weeks after catching it. I hugged him goodbye not knowing it would be the last time. He died alone. I miss him so much and I'm so proud of him for serving on the front lines to keep people safe.
My heart is broken watching this. My mom inlaw just passed from Covid on July 18 and it's a loss that cuts deep. I loved her so much and may hee soul rest in peace.
I CAN'T stop crying my mom is 92 fighting for her life and she also have pneumonia and I just talked to the doctor today saying she getting worst.
My dsughter grAndma died at 92 this year in september but due to a stroke
I’m sobbing. We experienced this this past weekend with my grandfather. Meanwhile my dad is at another hospital fighting covid as well but we can’t tell him that his dad has passed. We’re waiting for him to get better to tell him so that he can attend the funeral. And now my 6 year old sister has covid and I have to keep her separate from my mom with breast cancer undergoing chemo. This month has been the worst month of my life, it’s too much to handle.
I'm so sorry. Here's a virtual hug and good vibes going your way.
Take a deep breath, scream if you must!!! PRAY , PRAY , PRAY until you can't pray anymore. God bless you

It is exactly same way as I lost my mom even her lungs got harder and unable to breathe due to covid.
We miss u mom.You are our pillar of strength and confidence mom
Life without u is really difficult to move. Love you amma 🙏😘😔😔
I too lost my elder sister due to covid 😭😭
I lost my mom 3 weeks ago due to the same reason. She was on so much medication that her kidneys started to fail. We weren’t allowed in to say our final goodbye to her until after she had already passed.
@@rosylopez4198 oh so sad to hear
@@priyankajamadar193 she fought long and hard and tried to hold on but in the end this horrible sickness took her from us. I feel like we were robbed from spending more time with her. I feel like I will never be the same. Things around her house will never ever be the same without her there. Her grandchildren have been really sad about it and miss her as well.
@@rosylopez4198 my sister also fought to overcome this she tried her best bt bad luck she had a attack... If she survived another 10 days means she will be discharged from hospital.. Bt God didn't listen our prayers
I just lost my grandma to covid on Sunday..it was so hard seeing her through video and I'm still so shocked at how quickly this virus took her. My prayers to this family and all of those who have lost a loved one in this pandemic.
My grandpa passed away on December 14th due to covid. Everything was really fast, all in 1 week. I fell your pain. We couldn't even say goodbye. Is really hard. Lots of prayers for you and your family
@@Paula-oq1id im so sorry to hear this, and so close to the holidays 😞 prayers for your family as well. Stay strong ✊🏼
Tears run down my face, I have prayed and sent my energies towards you all.
Thank the family for allowing us to see their beautiful love, grandma, strength. Tears...gracias...from California
I'll remember my whole life what I've been through
I was 14 year old in 2020 I was covid positive I still remember my parents and relatives crying for me I was I'm pain but I smiled at them and said I'm fine doctors also said my parents I can't live anymore but I didn't lose my hope now I'm again healthy
Don't lose your hope one day everything will be fine 💜
14 and it hit you that bad? Omg im glad you’re better now 🙏🤗
@@swagkidm10 thanks 🥺
When she said "get up the spring is finally here" i cried 😭
I lost my grandfather due to Covid, this video broke my heart. Growing up in a Spanish household your grandparents are the lifeline of your family. They are the most adored and loved. You can tell she was so full of life and deeply loved by everyone ! My love and prayers for this family!
My Mother is dying of Covid right now. They are bringing her home so we can say our Goodbyes. This is so unreal. I still can't believe this is happening right now. 😢
Sending you my prayers 🙏🏻
I'll pray for the family for everyone around the world pls all who's reading my comment please pray for the world for the people who had covid
*UPDATE* Since I was quarantined with Covid myself, I was not able to see my Mom, but my 4 Sisters went to say their Goodbyes (which hospital broke protocol, because they said they are 1 in a milllion to do so). The hospital eventually said we can't bring her home, because she will for sure die in transport because hospice is not equipped with the heavy duty breathing machine that they use in hospital. Well, once my Sisters saw her and left, they said, 'There is no way she is dying'. She wasn't on a ventilator, she has a breathing cup. Mom was talking and she has a strong grip on my sisters hand. Granted she was 6% oxygen level and Drs thought her breathing would drop more through the night, I guess.
It's a miracle, the next morning her lungs showed a little improvement and today, my Mom is sitting up and spitting out phlem to clear her lungs and is out of isolation. Now she is allowed 2 visitors per day. Yay!
Thank you all for the prayers and I truly believe that by seeing her Daughters lifted up her spirits, prayers and the Love she was shown. I survived Covid, so my quarantine orders are over today. So I will see her tomorrow at the hospital. I can't wait. God is good.
PS: My Mother is 87 years old. Truly a miracle, to survive Covid which gave her pneumonia.
@@ingridarlington5745 I'm glad your mother is doing well and you're very welcome! Take care and stay safe! God is good!
@@ingridarlington5745 hi love! I hope your mom is doing well. I recently lost my mother to covid sadly so I truly hope you don’t lose yours as well ♥️
God…seeing this really brings back the pain…I lost my Father this year, January 16th to Covid…my sisters stood by his bedside while they took him off the ventilator. I watched through the phone they held. Just telling him how much I love him and how proud I am of him. I sang to him while my sisters held his hands for me. I miss him so much….and how much I wish he didn’t have to suffer like he did…
To everyone who is watching this,
I want you to go to your parents and hug them and tell them how grateful you are to have them. 😢
“You’re a warrior. You’re my mom’s mom.”
At one point I heard a waver in the narrators voice even she was struggling to hold it in. I’m so sorry for anyone who has lost something or someone in this pandemic.
I lost my grandfather and I just don’t want to remember the suffering. We all had it at the same time, seeing him leave on an ambulance and not coming back was heartbreaking. My condolences to all the families that lost loved ones. We will always have our love ones in our hearts.
Ohh its very sad Moment for u.. but we are humans and we need love we need guts I offer u my Friendship if u feel alone u can contact me__
I lost my closest brother to Covid last June 2020. He was alone in Dubai. The pain is unimaginable until now. I still cry every night.
I'm so sorry for your loss...Do you know it was promised by God in the bible that you will see your brother again, "the hour is coming in which all those on the memorial tombs will hear Jesus voice and come out." John 5:28,29. And God will "wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor pain be anymore." (Revelation 21:4)
Please hang in there, and I'm so sorry for your loss 😢
I lost my Daddy to Covid19 last March 25. I'm still processing everything. I couldn't even hug him. He died at home in the arms of my mom, as hospital facilities here in the Philippines are overburdenned. My mom, my siblings, and I have been infected and we have fully recovered. But I don't know when I will be able to fully recover from this tragedy.
Sorry to hear that buddy
Why is life so difficult? My mom the most innocent person I have known passed away while I was on my phone watching her. Why? I hope she didn't suffer. May Allah grant her peace and tranquility
If more people saw this type of media related to the virus we wouldn't be rushing to open the country.
majority of humans are stupid and are illogical when it comes to thinking a head. People tend to only react when it hits their doorsteps and by that time, the virus will of devastated many lives.
We are never in control of our lives and future.
We are all slaves to society.
Or just have the elderly and the sick quarantine themselves and let everybody else with a 0.001% chance of dying of the disease get on with their lives
I absolutely agree. People are always getting used to things too quickly....
Propaganda
@@DOPEdwarf Where does this number come from??
This made me cry-this video is so heartbreaking and intimate. Thank you nyt for this amazing reporting.
Update: I just finished the video and I am sobbing.

I feel their pain. I lost my brother 3 wks ago from covid and what makes me sad about it is that he didn't listen to me about getting vaccinated. I had it the next day he got admitted to the hospital and while for 3 days he was struggling to live I was in quarantine with very light symptoms. My mom had it too and my other brother but after about 9 days we got the virus out of our systems with like me they had light symptoms. I know that that was his destiny but I can't help but to question, what could have been if he listened to me.
@Red Ramos
I can't imagine your pain - it's such a complicated situation with you having tried to get him to take the vaccine, and him dying while you and other vaccinated family members survived with minimal symptoms. I have a BUNCH of friends who refuse to get vaccinated and I'm worried they'll catch Covid and pass - leaving me to feel a mixture of sadness and anger.
May you find peace.
Nothing would have changed, as you said it was his destiny. We all people who have lost their family members all of a sudden due to covid, it was all written
My cousin just died from it as well..he wasn't vaccinated, he wasn't old, he was a strong 40 some year old with many many years left with his kids, he was on life support he could no longer keep himself alive, this is so real and raw, and a terrible way to go
Sorry about your brother. As I type this I am fighting covid. I have cereal palsy and a blood clotting disorder, so I'm high risk. My husband brought COVID home thought it was no big deal. No matter how much I pleaded for him to wear a mask. He is across my living room as I type this on constant oxygen. We have 5 kids he did not think about. I'm so angry. Prayers to all doctors and nurses and I hope people start to work together and take this seriously.
@@crystaljohnson3669 prayers to you, get well soon
The pain of losing your loved one is unbearable. I lost my husband in this Covid. Its been 6 months. I cry whole day and night.. i just want God to send him back to me. I find it very hard to breath..
I lost my grandmother to covid and I also went in person to say goodbye to her. It seems like it was yesterday. It was the most painful thing I had to do. My heart is still broken. Its been a year and a half and I miss her so much ☹😞
I'm glad they had this moment...I couldn't say goodbye to my dad....and a year later I am still so messed up...no one should die alone...no one...
I’ cried so much , this hit me a lot . I lost my uncle from coronavirus and it was very very and still is hard for my cousins , we grew up together and seeing them say goodbye to my uncle that day , my heart went into a million pieces
So much love for this grandmother. Beautiful words from all the daughters , sons and grandchildren. Brought me to tears that innocent people are the ones getting infected and dying. Rip
Lost my grandma in February and this video breaks my heart. I pray this virus ends soon and everyone can stop being selfish :(
I lost my mom and I can tell you it feels helpless.
I have lost my beloved Auntie one day ago which is Friday in Somalia, Kismayo.
Covid-19 Really touches a lot of people.
This made me cry. I still don't understand, almost 2 years and millions of lives lost, how some people can say it's fake or not that bad.
And right now there are people who are protesting their state governments wanting it to be reopened... smh. You just can't fix stupid.
It's not stupidity. It's selfishness and self-centredness with no regards to others but their own enjoyment and convenience.
Sadly the bills havent stopped coming and people are running out of money to pay them. They need to get back to work. I cant fault them for that.
@@thekidfromcleveland3944 No said don’t to work, I’m am in essential worker, it’s the extra going to the beach and parties and bars and be being around your loved ones that can be seriously affected by this virus!
You can fix stupid, if you know how to talk to stupid people. But you're too stupid to realize that, because you've already decided to publicly declare you can't fix stupid. Funny, how they seem to think the same of everyone who shares your beliefs.
Yeah I know right!? Freedom is so overrated..
Every second of this video reminds me of my grandma. In May this year(2021), she had covid and was admitted in the ICU. Her lungs were destroyed beyond repair, and for 2 weeks she battled in the hospital, before loosing her life days before my 17th b'day. We saw her through video call everyday, just like in the video, and everyday she would request us to take her back home. After her passing away, everything's so out of tune, and I still find it hard to believe at times that she's no more.
The fact that deaths like this are still dismissed as "old people's numbers being up anyway" will make my blood boil until the day I die myself. It will be a long time before I expect compassion from the American public again.
“get up my queen, the flowers are starting to bloom.” 😢 😭
This breaks my heart. God bless this family
This is so sad. I'm crying because I can relate to the feeling of being separated from the patient due to the isolation protocols. My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer stage 4 and recently tested positive with covid. Terrible combination. Miraculously, She's still fighting. God knows how much we love her. These times are the worst. i'm always praying for her recovery and our family's strength. There's a lot of questions, frustrations, and sometimes anger in this journey. But there is also a lot of hope, prayers, faith, and courage. My mom's mind is very much alive. Her faith just glows whenever we see her in pain. Her full recovery and miracles are always in our prayers.
Look at the beautiful family Mrs Torro raised. Rest at peace loving mother, grandmother🌷💕
This is so sad. I can't finish watching.
I've been a nurse for 27 years. I've never felt so helpless as I have these past few months.
Hang in there Angelique. We need you and we appreciate everything you are all doing for us. May God bless you and keep you.
This is beyond heartbreaking. So many families experiencing so much grief and loss during this time.😢
Agenda
My condolences to this family. My heart aches for them. I am a Covid survivor hospitalized with double pneumonia fir five days. I know how I felt in that room. I send the peace of God to bring comfort and healing to all of your hearts and minds. 🙏🏾
Knowing my family and I went through the same situation, I lost both my grandparents to covid 1 day apart from eachother 🥺…my prayers goes out to this beautiful family❤️🙏
This is heart breaking. Bless to her and her family.
Oh my God, this was very painful to watch!
KurtBP75 why would you even watch it.
If it was a white male you wouldn't cared
People die everyday, virus or not. Yet the liberal cheesecakes are out dramatizing deaths from covid19! SMH.
Edmund Dobry smh. U have no humanity.
@@bigphillyed blame everything on the liberals, that's the only thing you people know how to do.
I lost my 27 year old brother cause of COVID and I’m telling you it hurts 😭😭😭😭
I’m so sorry for your loss luv, I loss my fiancé to COVID in April 2020, he was only 43…he was my best friend, he knew me better than I know myself and I will miss him every single day until we are reunited. If you ever need an ear or need to vent or just cry no one who has experienced this pain is a stranger to me I am here for you. Much love, you and your family will continuously be in my prayers. 🙏🏽 ♥️
@@NurseSnow2U thank you so much. So sorry for your loss also. Take good care of yourself
@The Lorca family. My condolences. My girlfriend who’s 29 is currently in ICU with Covid. With all due respect, did your brother also end up in ICU ? If so, how long was he there for until he transition? It’s been a month and 1 day since my girlfriend been in ICU. It’s scary
@@jondi3694 for just a week. He was declared brain dead. So they had to take him out off life support. He was also in coma. Nothing in his body was functioning. So do your Girlfriend is talking? Do her body is functioning. I guess yes because you said it’s been a month now.
This is soo painful 😣..even I have lost my grandmother on 22 sept 2021 ...I request everyone whose reading my comment please put her in your prayers 🥺😭..Drop an ameen 🥺
Amen
This is heartbreaking. God bless the families of these poor people, and the medical responders who have to deal with this horror on a daily basis.
My grandfather had Covid-19 just before he passed in January. He also had alzhimers which is a common underlying condition for a Covid-19 related death. I'm 39 with hypertension and got vaccinated back in Feb.
Now I have Covid-19(most likely the Delta variant) and I am grateful that I got the vaccine because it could have been worse for myself. Put your politics aside, get vaccinated and take care of your bodies. Its not a joke
Nope. Not getting that stupid shot.
Last week on Tuesday I was told that my uncle, aunt and cousin there middle age son where in the hospital for covid by Thursday I received the call that my uncle passed Saturday I was told my aunt was released but couldn't visit her son because how weak she still was then 20 minutes ago I get the call that my cousin has passed away I went from not knowing anyone that has died from covid to loosing 2 of the kindness & most caring people I've ever known
This is such a loving family. My heart goes out to them all.
This just broke my heart, as a healthcare worker who had to be pulled from my classes to go help.. I feel your pain and it just made me sad that people believed that this disease was fake..we need to humanize all those deaths
Seeing this brings back all the memories of losing someone to this as well.
I love you so much, Simón. I would do anything to get you back...
I lost my grandma back in June, as well as one of my closest uncles who died in December, who was like a 2nd father to me, both due to Covid. Losing a loved one is one of the most worst and an unfathomable experience a person can go through. I send my condolences to the family, hope they’re doing much better now.
Incredibly sad to see a loved one go this way
jk1289
It's actors.
Actor..... actor.?.... such stupid
@@stefanogallina3643 I can't even imagine.
Sad to see a loved one go this way! As opposed to dying from a heart attack, cancer, stroke or car accident! People live and they die, its all part of the cycle of life. Dramatizing nature is simply naive.
@Deniz K he doesn't have anything better to do
My husband and I just got over COVID. We were so so sick and in the hospital. It was the worse illness we ever had.
Feel so sorry for this family’s suffering. I hope they are healing.
This is horrible. The realness of the pain family this family endured is so heartbreaking. I pray for all who have lost their life to this virus and recovering from it.
This one really hit me hard despite not having lost anybody. The family reminded me of my family.
This breaks my heart. Rest In Peace queen!
