During the pandemic, people do not get the chance to say goodbye to loved ones who are isolated due to the contagion of COVID-19. A man in Rome says not being able to see his father in his final days pains him.
This undated photo provided by the family in April 2020 shows Enrico Giacomoni, right, and his son, Roberto. The last time Roberto Giacomoni saw his 80-year-old father Enrico, he gently helped him up from bed, put his socks, shoes and jacket on, and walked him out to the paramedics who had come to take him to the hospital because he was having trouble breathing.
In retirement, he found delight as his grandchildren’s attentive “nonno,” chatting with neighbors and shopkeepers during grocery runs and cooking with his wife. Then came the fever and stomach bug that led to trouble breathing and a call for an ambulance. His wife and son were ordered to quarantine at home after confirmation of his infection. They were nearing the end of the 14 days when he died on March 30.
Retirement came with a lung cancer diagnosis, but he had survived for a decade after surgery. Then the coronavirus hit.
