My dad is in Hospital dying of pancreatic cancer. We cant see him, or be near him (Covid 19 rules). He will die alone and afraid, because he already suffers with an anxiety disorder. THAT makes this slow motion Torture ! To think, that there are some who think "this virus is no big deal"

The worst thing about this virus that it forces you to die alone ... Without any loving last words or touch ... This is the saddest thing ....

So very sorry for your loss, Mr Shulman. So sorry as well for all the pain, suffering and loss so many are enduring at this time. My heart is aching for Mr Shulman. Thank you for doing this news story.

Crying.....the tears don't stop. This is one of thousands of stories that break my heart day after day after day. God bless his family and give them strength to carry on in the love of this man. Amen

I am so sorry for this family’s heartbreak, I simply can’t imagine this pain. After a two year battle with cancer my late husband and my children had the opposite experience. With the help of of hospice my husband died in my arms and surrounded by our children. Despite him being unconscious it was an intimate and loving moment. As we struggled with our grief thinking about those last hours with him gave us such comfort. The ability to say goodbye is important not only to the dying but their loved ones.

YOU NEED TO SHOW THIS VIDEO ON A LOOP TO EVERYONE INSISTING ON LIFTING THE QUARANTINE!!!

Wow! Thank you for sharing. I grew up in Seattle in the 1960s and am a cousin to Steve. Your video really touched my heart ❤! Wishing you strength to get through your grieving process.

Yousef, I am a Jewess. You did exactly right for your Uncle Steve. Having the Shema broadcast for him was exactly what he needed to hear. Do not forget that we recite Shema 3 times a day, when in perfect health, with sun in the sky, joy in our hearts. Although traditionally we try to die with those words on our lips, those words do not represent the END. You do not know, but perhaps when Steve heard and said those beautiful words, he was thinking of all of the joy-filled days when he Praised HaShem, then went about his day at the store or with family and friends. No doubt that when Steve was sedated or delirious, the hospital staff in extra gowns & PPE were not even seen by him. You do not know, perhaps in his delerium Steve was dancing with angels, ready to release his earthly body and be free. Do not torture yourself by creating a horrible scenario of Steve's last hours and minutes. Reality is, each human dies alone, no matter who or how many are standing nearby. Death is a solitary experience. You will always remember the happy times, holidays, the store, the customers, the stories you two shared. You will grieve. You will let go. You will recall that life is for the living. Steve had a good life and, Steve had a wonderful nephew-son.

Shalom. I hope that one day you will be able to cherish the memories you had with your dear uncle. I am sure that right now the pain is too deep. Grief is unbearable at times. Please allow the strength and love of others to carry you through this difficult. time. Take in the love of your customers and believe in the good of people. May your grief lessen each day. God Bless.

As one nurse said dealing with flooding patients of Covid.. "We dont have time to process how we feel, we can only feel when we're at home" Yes, that's just heavy..heavy feeling when you have rush of emotion but dont have time to process it, to feel the grief and let them go.. Hats off to the paramedics of the mental and physical burden they might carry during this pandemic.. I have even paused watching the news for couple of days just to clear my mind, i cant imagine how they must have been feeling😥😥😥 And my deep condolences for this family for the loss, loosing someone close to you could never been easy..

So heartbreaking .... such quick demise 💔 Prayers for your family 🙏🏼

God bless you & your family. May you find peace, knowing you did your uncle proud in sharing his story & love for him.

Thank you for posting this story. I happen to shop at this market and know many of the employees and customers. This market has had a lot of pain & loss in recent years. 💔

I’m like you but instead it’s my 73 year old mom. With COPD asthma and emphysema I’m trying to keep alive. I’m a contractor with the Federal Governments here in Washington DC. Thank God I get to work from home. We have our own plan in place that doesn’t include going to the hospital.

Dear lord Jesus Christ, don't let these people die alone.... prayers to all. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

I’m so so sorry for your loss. May God bring you strength and comfort to get through these long lonely days. Peace be with you. ❤️🙏

I read sheer terror in some of the faces on the nurses and doctors--God help us to see through this pandemic, the psychological effects of the tragedies we are witnessing because of the pandemic will be with us forever!!

Thank you for sharing your story. Sorry for your loss. You are not alone. What happened with your uncle is happening to so many - a symptom of a greater ill in our society. Hope all of us find peace and the answers we are all looking for. RIP to your uncle. Shalom.

Heartbreaking💔

Hear, O Israel: the LORD is our God, the LORD is One. From a Christian brother, Yousef, I pray for you and your family, and that you would be able to find peace and comfort in the coming days.

I'm so sorry for your loss!😢😥. I've been keeping asking God lately why our loved ones, so innocent kind people had to die for this disease? I wish God can give us an answer to eases our pain, to give us hope. I've never met your uncle but I can tell from his photo that he was a kind hearted hard working man, gone too soon and too sudden. So sorry that you didn't get a chance to say Goodbye to your uncle. This is extremely difficult time. I wish I had better words to comfort you. my heart goes out to you.

Our sincere condolences from Spain. Hugs.

This is such a tragedy...it breaks my heart💔

Sad to hear I know that market and have stopped in when I lived in the area. I would love to do the drive around the lake and would stop into that grocery market on occasion.

So sorry for your loss brother.

Dear God give these drs the strength to get us thru Amen

I'm so sorry, my heart hurts for all of you. First responders are

I know its sad & i feel for your loss but we can't always be there when our loved ones pass away.

"HE AIN'T HEAVY HE'S MY BROTHER" 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛

RIP sir! May God bless your precious soul...💐💐💐

I can hear the grief from his voice...

I do not know if you will see this. I am so sorry for your loss. I am sure he would love knowing you will be taking care of his business!

Sorry for Nephews loss he's in my Prays

So sad I pray for all!

Lord please help us 😭😭😭😭😢

Sad times...😓

So very sorry u can’t be there with him I can’t imagine how u feel my mom died on 911 and I got to hold her had and I wouldn’t of wanted it in any other way.

Lots of people are dying alone; they matter too. This is hypocritical. What about people who die of flu, pneumonia - we ignore them daily, for years and decades, how about terminal cancer. They all matter.

Dear nephew. I am sorry Steve died. I am glad he got his religious needs met. I will say a prayer for you.

No one dies alone! .... Our God is not a malicious God! ..... God is very much with your uncle!

Why isnt he wearing an effing mask??? Why isnt everyone practising safe distance and wearing a mask you can be a carrier and never come down with anything but be contagious!!!

God bless !

still the storekeeper wears no protection , ridiculous

So sorry words are not adequate. ❤

Lord Bless you and your family

Makes me so angry that while this is happening right now... people think it's okay to go out and protest and think this isn't real or a big deal.

It is hard to understand that this man has just lost his uncle to corona virus, ccpvirus, wuhan virus, DTvirus and yet he doesn’t even bother to wear a mask....what a tribute to his uncle!!!

🙏🙏🙏

This is a horrible disease. I hope he will be OK and go get tested to make sure he is not infected.

It's so lonely.

This makes it "real" for me; not just a number. My heart is with this sweet man's family. And ALL victims of this hideous virus.

Ouch ouch ouch oh this hurts.

😥😥😥😥😥😥

I'm a poor senior. I know why my life is not worth living ......

Why would you take him off there are people on ventilators who have made it through...

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

Alhamdulillah I have a good relationship with allah taking hes comments by praying 5 times a day fasting the Ramadan not drinking alcohol not listening music not lieyin and giving charity money to the poor and staying way from all bad stuff allah said if u follow my law and u are loyal to me on the time of ur death I'll be there with u and support u and look after u he will send 2 beautiful angels telling u allah send us dont be scared dont be sad in this world u did good by obeying ur maker allah so to day we are with u u pass the test in this world paradise is ur home for ever from allah we come from to him we return

Allone in plainfield nj no help people cant get testing here either many sick no help people struggeling to feed kids stealing food necessity no help 80 percent no computers in home no school no taxi service people feeling forgotten liquor stores profiting huge despair anger runing high powderkeg hope it doesnt blow

Where is the nephews mask ,or the lady shopper ? Do they want to meet the fate ?

Dearest God heal the world 🙏🙏🙏🙏😂

Why isn't he wearing mask even what he saw his uncle went through???

Where is your mask PLEASE wear it be safe

Very sad what is happening around the world. The worst is the dear ones have to die alone. See how much the person Will be feeling. God save the world have mercy on us . See China is responsible for this but. W H O is silence about all this.

No mask bro?

The doctors don't share a common grief HOW DARE you. you leave vulnerable patients seeking help and they just ignore them. They have blood on their hands someday they will have to answer to their atrocities, you cannot handle it don't be there your afraid don't be there so give a family member the right to stand by give them the help they need. Most patients didn't have to die from dehydration, NO applauding for negligence . I am sick of seeing the culprit seeking credit they don't deserve

God is still in control.....

Pls use mask . So sad rip

Show some god damn leadership trump in troubled times!! We don’t care about the ratings

Fake news

Don't believe it.

Is it just me or did he say that his uncle fell and went to the hospital asymptomatic and within a day and a half his vitals were failing drastically. Sounds as if the uncle was exterminated by the hospital with a ventilator or this is a fake story. Smh

I don't think anyone would wanna get disconnected from life support. You disconnected the machine and killed him.
