Joining Callsuma in the room today is British Bangladeshi, Shamsul Islam. In light of South Asian Heritage Month, I have chosen to have a uncomfortable and vulnerable conversation about the impact Covid-19 has had on one Bangladeshi family.

A report published by Public Health England (PHE) on the impact of coronavirus on ethnic minority groups, has found that people of Bangladeshi heritage are dying at twice the rate of white Britons. Other black, Asian and minority ethnic groups had between 10% and 50% higher risk of death.

Shamsul talks to Callsuma about his parents and his nephew who all died in 2020. His mum of Cancer, dad of Covid-19 and his 5 yr old nephew from a rare disease. Shamsul also had Covid-19 and recovered from it.

We discuss the difficult decision that lead him to finding a care home for his father who had Alzheimer's, unfortunately his dad had a urine infection and the care home decided to take him to the hospital where his dad during his stay tested positive for Covid-19. Shamsul likely caught Covid-19 during his visits to the hospital when visiting his dad.

He opens up about the impact Covid-19 and their deaths had on his mental health, the lack of right support in the workplace, the stress of juggling different priorities whilst not functioning at 100%.

We delve into our friendships, what it means to show up and that ultimately unless you go through a bereavement you could not possibly know how to support someone during the most difficult time in ones life however we also concluded that grief also shows us where to direct our energy and where not to, as the truth reveals itself.

Shamsul shares that although his faith is important to him, he questioned everything he once knew after the tragic death of his nephew.

Now on the road to recovery and healing, he looks forward to travelling more to aid in his wellbeing and putting ego's aside by spending quality time with his family around the dinner table.

Over 154k people have died of Covid-19 in the United Kingdom, leaving a devastating impact on those directly affected. The Bangladeshi community being one of them, the most marginalised community in the U.K.
