A devastated son used his tearful video tribute to his mother, who passed away due to the CCP virus, to warn others about the spreading epidemic.

British man Stuart Hamlin shared the video to Facebook talking about the “gut-wrenching pain” of watching his mother, Tracy, die of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus. Hamlin used his personal tragedy as a warning to others about the deadliness of the virus.

Hamlin said that his mother was taken to the hospital on March 23, but in an incredibly short span of time, the virus took her away.

“I want people to understand that this virus, this corona is not a joke,” Hamlin said.

“That was Monday. And now it’s Thursday and she’s gone,” Hamlin said in the video, breaking down into sobs.

Worst of all, because of quarantine, he said the family was not able to meet her. The heartbroken son said that not only were his family powerless to do anything to help his mother, but they couldn’t even visit her or give her anything familiar from home.

“Me, my dad, my brother and my sister, and all our family,” he said, “we have to just sit at home while she struggles in the hospital on her own.”

“You can’t go near her, you can’t cuddle her,” Hamlin said, adding that all they could do was to pray all day, hoping she would come out alright.

While Hamlin didn’t get a chance to properly say goodbye to his mother, he hopes that by mourning her via social media, he can honor her memory.

“So many people up and down the country have now seen your beautiful face,” he wrote on Facebook, “and know what a truly amazing mother, Nan, wife, sister, and auntie you really was.”

He added that though going viral won’t bring her back, if it helps save at least one person’s loved one, “it’s worth it.”

Hamlin wrote that his mother showed true courage in the face of death and suffering. “My mum in her final moments her only concern was that we was [sic] all ok and made us promise to look after each other,” he wrote.

In remembering his late mother, Hamlin expressed his gratitude for all she had done while promising to look after his siblings, as his mother had asked him to.

“I will use every day I have left in this world to make you as proud as I possibly can,” he wrote in a Facebook tribute.

The incredible response of people to Hamlin’s video tribute on social media represents how people are taking the CCP virus seriously and at the same time reaffirms our faith in humanity. For Hamlin, the best way to remember his late mother is to stay inside and follow social distancing restrictions so that no one else lives through what he experienced.
