Covid Inquiry: Man 'damaged beyond repair' over mother's death during pandemic
Milda Grundle was 73 years old when she died in April 2020."We are all damaged, and damaged beyond repair," the Coleraine man said."This is about impact, and probably the greatest demonstration I can give of that impact is that I go to bed every night and I don't sleep very well, but when I do, I really don't care if I wake up in the morning."He added: "That is the impact of what has happened - of how we have been damaged. That is the mental impact of that, and that also goes into the physical side of things because we are suffering with physical health issues as well."Many of us, and I include myself in this, because of our experience with hospitals we don't want to see healthcare professionals. "We put things off because of how we were treated in the aftermath of our loved ones' deaths - we don't want to deal with them."
