whenever the doctors were telling the going to sleep and you were trying to reassure patients that they would wake up. most of them didn't. you were literally the very last person they saw for the last voice they saw for the last voice they heard before they went to sleep. after the first wave came and went there was relief. we thought, "that's it — it is gone. my name is newton and i am from here, _ my name is newton and i am from here, derry— my name is newton and i am from here. derry city~ _ my name is newton and i am from here. derry city. i— my name is newton and i am from here, derry city. i lost— my name is newton and i am from here, derry city. i lost my- father to covid, he was also

he saw that voice was coming from my mum's phone. he put his hand on my lap and looked at me and i bursting to tears. that is one of the things that i am finding really, really difficult these past few months. my my name is fatherjames o'reilly. and i've been a priest coming up on five years. when covid—19 hit there was a loss of fear and confusion and initially it seems to be that nurses and dock is will go into the patients, but nobody else. things change probably in mid april. father felix was the hospital chaplain for 17 years. he was the first patient that they attended with

covid—19. they anointed him with the last rites and he went to the lord a day or two later. and there was something spiritual and symbolic in that moment that i'm taking on the ministry that father felix has run for so long. little by little, as the pandemic increased, before they knew i was coming in and out of the hospital three and four times a day, seven days a emotionally is incredibly challenging and patients who have administered the last ice and have subsequently gone to the lord, is easily 100, easily. i've had moments, at those times, where ijust needed to have a good cry. and ijust needed to have a good cry. and i just felt like i needed to have a good cry. and ijust felt like i couldn't cope anymore. that doesn't mean that you are we, it means you are human. —— week. when i think of the last year, part of

me is wondering why? why is god allowing this to happen? but i'm also incredibly thankful, because i believe that there's always hope. i've seen hope in the lives and actions of the nurses and doctors in the hospital, the care workers, the healthcare assistance. i will never lose the hope that i have seenin never lose the hope that i have seen in those people i have encountered over the last year. covid has wrecked me professionally and personally. i'd lost my husband, alan, to

covid. he was 63. he passed away on 6january covid. he was 63. he passed away on 6 january this covid. he was 63. he passed away on 6january this year. alan was from holly baccy, owned and managed pubs all of his life stop so he was a very, very sociable man. we met when i was a student nurse, just on a normal night out, as student nurses did back then. he was slightly older than me, 14 years old, and i thought no, i need somebody my own age. but he wooed me, wind and died me and that was it. we were together for 29 years. we and that was it. we were togetherfor 29 years. we have three lovely kids. he loved man united, much to my disgust. and on top of that then we just loved our holidays.

i got to speak to him a couple of times, but then he phoned and said the doctors were going to put the tube down his throat. and his last words to me "look after the family". even at that stage i thought he will be ok. he will be fine. so from 1january then to the sick, eye sat with alan, but, unfortunately, from about the fourth his condition deteriorated. fatherjames, such a gracious man, and such a lovely person, came in and anointed alan. and although alan knew nothing about it, it settled me. it gave me great hope. it settled me. it gave me great ho e. . , settled me. it gave me great ho e, ., , , settled me. it gave me great hoe. ., , , ., ,

been told they have to try and find a new normal. but don't want to find a new normal. i was quite happy with my normal that i had. the kids still live with me so i've created destruction, but the problem is whenever they go to their beds and i'm left at night and the space that alan would have sat on along the sofa is empty. i'm robert mooney and i'm from north belfast. lisa, she was 41, she passed away on 22 february, 2021. and we have four children together. me and lisa, we met in 1994. basically teenagers. i was walking home with my cousin one night. lisa

approached me and says" beautiful eyes, i'm going to walk with you" and i'd say thank you. so i've kept talking. it was only 15, never had a girlfriend before. but i just grabbed onto lisa and from there on in we were sweethearts. just so happy that i have so many memories of her. almost every photo you see of her she has a smile. and that is liz orlova, always happy, smiling, affectionate, and i just want to hold her again —— all over. a look at the videos every night since she is gone. and you can see the smile. and that's may lisa. and i would give anything to do that again.

anything. icame i came home from workjust afterfour. 17 february. and she has got a temperature of 39. and that was a red flag right away to me. having covid myself back in november. ijust knew she had it. next morning, her birthday, 18 february, the positive test came back. i didn't think to send to hospital because her was fine. there were no signs that she was in any danger. the monday morning eye walked in and she was... i knew she was gone. the

999 people were on the phone telling me what to do to give her any chance, i telling me what to do to give herany chance, i had telling me what to do to give her any chance, i had to do cpr on her. even though i knew she was gone. i continued for about five minutes. until the ambulance came. then the paramedic came into the room and hejust said, "look, i'm not even going to do anything, so on, she's been gone a while." mother's day came 12 days after we lead her to rest, her funeral. days after we lead her to rest, herfuneral. —— laid herto rest. it came to quick, to be honest. but the kids, they were given four little loans with their mother's ushers in them.

hello, there. easter sunday's highest temperature was in worcester sure where it got very close to 18 celsius. but at the other end of the uk, the weather was changing, and it was changing drastically. that was shetland with some snow showers and some cold air. and that cold air is now moving southwards behind this cold front, a much, much chillierfeel to the weather for easter monday. the start of the new week bringing much colder days and some frosty nights. snow showers quite widely, but especially across northern scotland, where there will be blizzard conditions with some really strong winds. so as we start monday morning, then, the remnants of our cold front bringing some patchy rain into the south. behind that, sunny spells, yes, but plenty of showers, especially for coastal areas. the showers falling as a mixture of hail and snow in most places, and the showers most plentiful across northern scotland, where we will see the snow really piling up over the highest ground. and there will be blizzard conditions here, as i said,

with wind gusts of 50—60, maybe 70 mph. and even if you see sunshine through monday afternoon, 4—9 celsius the maximum temperature. factor in the strength of that northerly wind, this is what it's going to feel like. it will feel subzero for many, feeling like —4 there in aberdeen. now, as we head through monday night into the early hours of tuesday, you can see the snow showers continuing, particularly for eastern and western coasts, some for northern ireland and plenty more for northern scotland. and it is going to be widely a cold and frosty night, and there could be some icy stretches around as well first thing on tuesday morning. and another cold and wintry day to come on tuesday with some spells of sunshine. showers especially around the coasts, but actually, greater chances of seeing some showers in land, and again, those showers are likely to be wintry. and it's another cold day, still windy too, 2—9 celsius at best. a subtle change as we head towards the middle part of the week, and it comes courtesy of this little frontal system here. it is a warm front running in from the west. as the name suggests, the air behind it will be warmer or perhaps just a little bit less cold. temperatures will slowly nudge upwards. that front will bring a little bit of rain for some, but not quite all of us. so, through the middle of the week, some slightly

higher temperatures, but then actually by friday, in northern areas, it will turn cold once again.
