Kenia Penalba, an emergency medical technician, was unable to comfort her step-father when he was hospitalized with COVID in August.
“As soon as he was intubated, his organs started failing. And we were told he had a day or so left to live. I had to say goodbye on FaceTime because they wouldn’t allow visitors due to the pandemic,” the 23-year-old told CBS News.
What’s worse is her mother was sick with the virus too.
“She died a few days after, which I suspect is more so because of heartbreak than because of the virus,” Penalba said.
Penalba was left to care for her 13-year-old brother, Lazaro, and 90-year-old grandmother.
