On this episode of Stolen Goodbyes, Karen speaks to Katie Haslam from Wiltshire who lost her father Terry to COVID-19 on 8 April 2020. He was 70.

Katie speaks fondly of her kind and generous father who doted on his baby granddaughter but who had suffered a stroke in later life. 

Katie speaks of her utter shock and confusion after hospital staff said her father was okay despite testing positive for COVID 19 before he died a few days later.

The pain of his death was made worse for Katie’s mother as she couldn’t say a proper goodbye to him as he thought he was coming home.

Katie believes the government should have enforced lock down earlier.
