The ability of a person to love is an advantage that cannot be stopped or obstructed by anything, no matter how harsh the circumstances and adversity. Although the Corona pandemic caused a unique case of social estrangement, love arrived in the intensive care rooms to challenge the pain and death of
doctor John Wright, the intensive care specialist at Bradford Royal Hospital in Britain, revealed to the BBC on " A unique and very sad love story, and he told the story of a patient who married his fiancée hours before his death.
When the newly qualified nurse, Sophie Bryant Miles, started her night shift work in the Corona Patients department, she was told that the young man with several health problems, in addition to a "Corona" infection, was not expected to survive, as he is now receiving treatment for analgesia Pains only.
Accompanied by the patient, he was a woman wearing all necessary personal protective equipment; two gloves, an apron, a face mask and a hat. She is his fiancée for 15 years, and she had told the hospital staff that they had not had a wedding because of lack of money and time. Life has constantly stirred them. Nurse Sophie called the hospital chaplain Joe Felder, and asked him if he could marry the couple immediately.
Joe said that he could not do it now legally, but that he could do something similar to and close to what usually happens in ritual contract rituals, and complete them; they are able to repeat some sentences behind him such as "I accepted to marry him / her", "and nothing will separate us except Death "etc. The priest attended and made two seals of tin foil.
"We then took a photo of them, based on their wish," the nurse says. "We tried to make it look like a real wedding as possible, and we gave them the cake too." "The fiancée knew perfectly well that these were the last hours of her fiancé's life, and I think that was the last thing they felt they could achieve together, so at least they would have this last anniversary together."
"We all were crying," the nurse says, because his health report confirms that he will not live until the morning, and he has a few hours in front of him, so I performed a ritual service and ritual that was very similar to the wedding service in the church.
The patient did his best to repeat the words, but he was suffering from difficulty breathing. His partner also did her best to repeat the words, but she did so with tears pouring down her cheeks, and the family was smiling and crying at the same time.
All this was done and everyone wore complete personal protective equipment, it was a very imaginary night, so at least, this patient will die knowing that he echoed these words of commitment to his fiancée, and his family will know that he died after he did it.
His partner was very grateful for everything that happened, it was an opportunity for her fiancé to crown and hear her fiancée words of commitment to the marriage pact as well. Director of the Covid Patient Division 19, Jenny Marshall Hamad, found out when she woke up the next morning. Her feeling was mixed with joy and sorrow, a feeling of pride in her team and a bitter feeling of the patient's death in just hours.
