'We laid our beautiful baby to rest with only 11 mourners – our heartbreaking pics show reality of coronavirus funerals'
Chloe and Jordan, 29, are among a soaring number of Brits facing strict restrictions on funeral numbers in a bid to tackle coronavirus, which has so far killed 433 people in the UK.
But heartbreakingly, at a later scan, the couple discovered their son had the same condition as his big sister had - which meant he had "no real brain function".Unwilling to terminate the son they'd fought so hard to have, Chloe and Jordan sat on their bed and begged their unborn child: "Please Samuel, make the decision for us.""That night, when we’d gone to bed, he had gone.
Yet a week after the scheduled pick-up, he remained at the hospital - as COVID-19 began to make headlines across the world, infecting more than 428,000 and killing over 19,000."I did go a bit mad about it."Loved ones forced to stay awayBut his parents' relief soon turned to panic about his funeral service, as vulnerable and symptomatic Brits started being told to self-isolate at home to avoid being exposed to the virus.
Because of Chloe's health conditions, she is among the 1.5 million most vulnerable Brits asked to self-isolate for at least 12 weeks - and, to protect her, Jordan is doing the same.I’m lucky I have savings that I can dip into but I'd wanted to keep them in case we need fertility treatment in the futureAnd because the pair are self-employed - working as independent distributors for a multi-utility provider - they are currently out of work and facing severe financial struggles.
