A heartbreaking scene was captured in the intensive care unit showing a mother and daughter holding hands before mom died.
Anabel Sharma, 49, Maria Rico, 76, both infected with COVID-19 were in their ICU beds wearing oxygen masks. Just 24 hours later, Anabel's mom died.
"If anyone is thinking about breaking the rules, I’d urge them to put themselves in my shoes and think about what it might be like to watch your mum die, or be told that you might not live."
Anabel said, they have always been cautious since her mom lived with them. "We had food delivered and I only ever did the school run. I never thought Covid would hit us - but it did," she explained.
Maria took her oxygen mask off to say goodbye to her daughter Anabel and her sister Susana during her final moments.
Anabel has to use oxygen after she was discharged from the hospital as COVID-19 damaged her lungs so bad.
Maria, Anabel, her husband Bharat, 47, and her other sons Jacob, 22, and Noah, 10, all fell ill within days.
Anabel and Maria were taken to Leicester Royal Infirmary in mid-October and placed on oxygen a few beds away from each other.
Two weeks later, doctors wheeled Maria’s bed next to Anabel’s, where the gran explained she had signed a Do Not Resuscitate order.
