Ramirez, a native of Venezuela, opened up on Instagram about the extent to which COVID-19 has ravaged his loved ones.
Ramirez offered a heartbreaking update Wednesday, reporting that both Lucy and Guillermo died over the weekend. Monday delivered more devastating news: Nidia’s brother-in-law Rafael, “a dear friend,” also passed away following a months-long battle with COVID-19. Ramirez also explained that another dear friend, his Venezuelan agent Laureano, passed away from the virus.
“My heart can’t just take more pain. I am sad, I am frustrated, I am devastated. It’s been weeks and weeks of my family being played, tortured and jerked around by this cruel, treacherous and violent disease which mercilessly ended up killing them all. I can’t stand this void in my chest, this metallic taste in my mouth, this crippling headache that doesn’t seem to soothe,” he wrote. “None of them had been vaccinated. None had access to a vaccine in Venezuela.
Then on Monday, still unable to process the shock and the horror from the weekend, we woke up to the news that my Aunt Nidia’s brother in law, Rafael, a dear friend, had also died after months battling with COVID complications. As my family and millions of people go through the nightmare of losing their loved ones because there aren’t enough vaccines in the rest of the world, my hope is that anyone who can get vaccinated, do so today.
