Jean Adamson, a grieving family member, reflects on two million deaths from COVID-19
Description
Jean lost her father to Covid in a care home in April 2020. Jean also works in the care home sector. She stands in from of the National COVID Memorial Wall in London, United Kingdom. She holds a photo of her father, and repaints the heart she drew to remember her father, Aldrick.Jean's father who was 98-years old died less than 24 hours after being admitted to hospital: “The death of my father from COVID-19 made me acutely aware of contracting the virus. Having lost my dad the way that I did, it was very personal to me, so I have been ultra-cautious, especially around my grandchildren”.Jean is also a great advocate for the COVID-19 vaccines: “Coming from a nursing background, getting the vaccine was a no brainer. But, also the fact that I lost my father meant I couldn't wait to get it, so had mine fairly early in the rollout”."This memorial is so beautiful and so important because it's positioned next to an NHS hospital and opposite where all of the decisions were made. And this is the fallout from that. So it is a really powerful monument for a whole community of bereaved families. There are a lot of ways that we can remember my Dad. pay tribute to him. But it's a lovely thing to be able to come and see (the Wall) and to have that shared remembrance"In the weeks leading up to my Dad catching COVID I was unable to visit him, only see him through his bedroom window. Following his infection, he became quite breathless and I asked the care home to have him admitted to hospital so that he could get the oxygen he needed. As he was deteriorating quite quickly, the hospital invited me in to spend time with him, but as my daughter had just given birth two weeks earlier it seemed too much of a risk to me, my daughter and my granddaughter to do that – given how COVID-19 was circulating so widely and there were no vaccines or treatments at that time. He died within 24 hours of being in hospital. It’s something that I'll live with for the rest of my days - that I wasn't able to be with him and offer him any real comfort, in his dying days."
