Lost a friend to COVID.

[WiredIncorrectly]

Thanks all. I've been helping out trying to get him a tribute page in the local paper. He was a friend of the family too. My uncle knew him and my stepdad as they were both musicians in the same circle. So many DJ's did tribute live streams for him. They played his songs, many unreleased. He was so talented, and always had a laugh and banter.

Just 4 weeks ago we lost my stepdads best friend to the same Cancer my stepdad died from, at the same age around the same time.

So much loss. Sometimes life isn't fair.

Very sorry to see this :-(

Sorry bud, hope there wasn't too much suffering involved (sounds silly to say really).

The last picture he posted was him tubed up, awake and alert. He was holding his one finger up to the camera. They removed the tubes and he passed away 3 hours later. Can't even imagine what he would have went through, hopefully he was asleep when it happened. This is the part that is swirling around my head. Still processing it.

Panic has gone through the roof obviously.

That’s truly awful and I really feel for the poor guy.

I can understand why you’re hurting, I’ve watched someone I knew well taken by this virus. It’s hard to comprehend and I can imagine it must be so much harder for one so young. It’s tragic, frankly.

For your own benefit, it’s best to try and remember that this persons outcome is extraordinarily rare. For one so young with no serious health problems, it’s almost unheard of.

I know that’s not the point, a person has died and it’s a tragedy. I’m just trying to stop those thoughts creeping into your mind and only adding pressure on to your existing grief. I’m very sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss, talk to people do not hide away or bottle it up.
