Her mom passes away ‘alone and in isolation’ after coronavirus keeps her from her family
By MarissaRocks
Self-isolation is a key step in order to slow down the spread of this terrible and potentially deadly virus and also in order keep the most vulnerable people of our communities safe. However, it’s easier said than done.
At this stage, we are not sure how long the coronavirus will last so halting our lives indefinitely isn't something everyone can do.
However when it comes to the ill, they are having to stay in isolation away from family, friends and the ones they love the most.
In a devastating and heart-wrenching post from Caroline Hopton, she announced her mother was diagnosed with COVID-19 and as her condition got worse she was isolated from her loved ones. Her mom passed away the next day.
Isolating her stopped Caroline from “holding my dearest mum’s hand in her final moments last night”.
Ms Hopton described her ordeal on Twitter, writing: “She died alone in isolation after being admitted early Sat AM and was put in isolation ‘just in case’.
“It made losing her even more devastating. How many other families will go through (the) same?”
According to The Sun newspaper she was told by hospital staff that her mother’s condition was deteriorating and to come “at our own risk”.
She said: “I left and got a puncture on the way.
“My sibling arrived and masked, suited and booted but she had already passed.”
Caroline’s tweet quickly went viral and many replied to show their support for her. She later removed the tweet and posted a new one which read:
“Folks! I can’t thank everyone enough for all the heartwarming messages. You have all really helped me today. I had no idea, however, that this tweet would be so widely shared & i’m not in a place to respond to interview requests just now, so at this point I’m going to remove x”

This is such a heart crushing loss for Caroline and it does make me think about the others that will lose loved ones under these circumstances.
Everyone be sure to share this as a reminder to others of the importance of hand hygiene and social isolation during these uncertain times.
