This is one of the most upsetting conversations I’ve ever had. ‘Hannah’ is a remarkably strong woman and I’m pleased I could help her relay her desperately sad experience. This is her account of the end of her husband John’s life, after they both got the virus.
"I'm now at home alone, and nobody can give me a hug"
'Hannah' from Surrey became ill with coronavirus, and her husband John cared for her while she was unwell
He contracted the virus and was then admitted to hospital where he died
