Richard Brady spent a month battling Covid-19 in ICU at Wexford General Hospital before he passed away last year during the first wave of the pandemic.
His wife Margaret, the woman he met and fell in love with in the late 1980s, said that the grieving process has been difficult and that she misses Richard every day. I find it very hard to accept that Richard died from this. I find it very hard that I didn t get to see him much after he went off in the ambulance a week before Easter Sunday, said Margaret, who also contracted the virus in March of last year, from her home in Riverchapel.
