Losing Mum and Dad to Covid

The pandemic has brought immense hardship and loss to families around the world. For some, like myself, it has brought the devastating reality of losing both of my parents to Covid-19. The pain of their absence is profound and never-ending.

My mum and dad were loving, generous, and vibrant individuals who always put their family first. Their sudden and unexpected deaths have left a hole in my heart that can never be filled. The thought of never being able to hold their hands again or hear their voices brings tears to my eyes every day.

As I grapple with this immense loss, I find solace in the memories we shared and the love they showered on me throughout my life. I hold on to the lessons they taught me and the values they instilled in me, knowing that they will always be a part of who I am.

But the pain of their absence is still raw and unbearable at times. The empty chairs at the dinner table, the unanswered phone calls, the unopened gifts – they serve as constant reminders of the void left by their passing.

And yet, I know that my parents would want me to carry on and find happiness in my life. They would want me to cherish the time we had together and honor their memory by living a life filled with love and purpose.

So I hold on to their spirits, their laughter, and their love, knowing that they are watching over me from above. And I promise to never forget the incredible individuals they were and the profound impact they had on my life.

As the world continues to grapple with the effects of the pandemic, I urge everyone to cherish their loved ones, hold them close, and never take a moment for granted. Covid-19 has taught me the harsh lesson that life is fragile and that we should never postpone the expression of our love and gratitude.

So to Mum and Dad, I say thank you for the love, the memories, and the lessons. You may be gone, but you will never be forgotten.
