Khushboo, 26, a student in Srinagar, shows a picture on her phone of her father, Shakeel Ahmad Baba, a government employee, who died due to COVID-19, on September 24, 2020. "Our lives changed drastically after my father passed away. He was a loving father, a decision maker. He died because of improper health-care facilities in the hospital. He would have survived had there been a proper oxygen supply in the hospital. A day before his death I spoke to him on the phone and he told me to pray for him and the next day he passed away. His death left a great void in our entire family," Khushboo said. This image is part of a larger series from Reuters, in which Indians share the stories of loved ones they lost to the pandemic. #
