The Wider Image: Indians share the stories of loved ones they lost to the pandemic
Amrutha Sangeeth, a housewife, shows a picture on her phone of her mother Sathy Vasudevan, 64, also a housewife, who died due to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), as she poses for a photograph, on the outskirts of Kochi, India, September 25, 2020. "My mother was suffering from a liver disease and was bed ridden," said Sangeeth. "A delay in the test result was one of the reasons she died. We could not move easily as six other family members got infected and were later hospitalised. It was really tough for my younger sister to arrange for last rites etc. as neighbours stayed away and were afraid of contracting the virus." REUTERS/Sivaram V SEARCH "COVID DEATHS" FOR THIS STORY.
