Forcing isolation while dying

This is about cruelest practice under the excuse of c.v.19 that I cannot believe people seem to be mindlessly acquiescing to.

It is the hardest thing to fathom, even after witnessing the ugliest practices of our country either firsthand or through others or history, that this practice of forcing people who are sick and in pain and fear – I mean come on, they fuckin can’t breathe, how horribly scary is that – forcing them to die alone.

REALLY??? Fuckin REALLY?

Of course I know we all have to die by ourselves but do we have to die alone? Someone will really keep me from holding my loved one's hand, from whispering love and strength softly into her ear, to smooth her hair and let her know I will not leave her side, to whisper and let her know she can leave whenever she's ready. Someone will not allow me to gather her frail body in my arms and help her breath calmly if shallowly, to relax her limbs and dab water on her lips. To witness her last earthly journey, to stay strong in her corner even as she deserts that corner; to offer her support and grant her last wishes.

REALLY? Fuckin REALLY?

And not ‘just’ those that are dying from c.v.19 and its complications, but I recently read about a womon whose daughter had terminal cancer and was forced to be in isolation in the hospital until she died.

REALLY???? Fuckin REALLY?

How cruel is that? How anti-human is this? How can any family member agree to this treatment of an alleged loved one?

I have no desire to live sooooo badly that I would not be with a loved one while she was transitioning. If healthcare workers can ‘risk’ being in with the dying patient and be protected, how come hospitals cannot work out how family members can also be protected? If a family member chooses not to be there, that’s one thing. But to not have the choice?

Whose values are these that have rapidly been institutionalized these past couple months as standard protocol for people dying?

Oh I know some of you are saying that it is not just the family member who might be willing to risk catching c.v.19 rather than allow her loved one to die alone, but then that person can go out in the world and infect others. So, simple solution: that person gets quarantined and is isolated for the 14 days and released when tested negative.

With the knowledge that this is the practice of hospitalization, I would imagine many would opt NOT to go to the hospital so that they can die at home. So that person cannot get healthcare that might save her life.

Crazy. I just have no words for this draconian treatment of the dying.
