I just read a post in all caps from a person who's grandmother is dying of cancer, basically saying anyone trying to keep him away from her will be in for a fight.
Hospital and nursing home staff HATE having to keep people away. They all would love to have family bedside for their loved ones in their final moment. But unfortunately because of COVID, they cant allow it. It increases the risk of spread and can jeopardize the patient, other patients and staff. Most of the time the staff can and will offer a safe alternative, such as talking through a window, or video chat.
Even in moments like this, horrible moments nobody wants to go through, hospital staff and nursing home staff have to consider everyone. It is a decision they absolutely hate making.
It's a very emotional time for people with ailing loved ones. It's become an all too common story.
Sadly, the people working the hardest to save lives and to ease a person's last hours are also the ones that take the brunt of the frustration.
I know of a few people who have lost loved ones they were unable to see in their final days/hours.

Are you drunk? This was one of Brian's sanest posts.
