Sorry for your lost this is maybe the most tragic news i've heard about Bitcoin that's why its really recommended to not put all your Crypto in one storage, if it was me i dont know exactly what to do i might sued those people.
There are many bounty or signature campaign's to atleast sustain your financial problems. Please stay strong and lived on.
Im also losing my crypto due to Covid-19 millions of people lost their jobs that's why i use it to sustain for our daily needs to feed my family. Hopefully we get through this.

One of the saddest news we heard so far in this community because of the covid-19 pandemic. Wish you that you can recover from this specially from emotional pain.

However, you said that you are very careful and have a back up at home (which got burned) and at your office (I'm assuming that it is still there). So I guess you can go back after everything has settled down and recover your BTC. Wish you all the best and stay strong!!!

I'm sorry for your losses, first is for your husband which is more and definitely important compare to the piece of paper or Bitcoins you had, remember. I am very sad right now because of your experience.

Remember, you are still alive, be thankful. Those Bitcoins you lost are still can able to own again soon or near future, for now, take care of yourself. For sure you are a tough woman and you can get through all of these.

Additional about the bitcoins you lost, lesson learned now, that is one of the downsides of using paper wallet for me, although it's very secure for any hacks, it is extremely vulnerable to nature's tragedy.

I am sad to her your tragic story. You lost your husband and then you also lost your access to your cryptocurrency. This is illustrating actually that no matter how we humans think of something to be nothing is really perfect. Indeed, the current viral pandemic is making things so bad and is bringing the worst of the people. Today, there are so many simple and rational matters that are turning upside down due to fear of the virus. And maybe we could not blame people for that but can only wish that things may soon return to normal. Again, my sympathy and a big wish that life will be blessing you once again.

This covid-19 is really making things messed up and getting families to live in regret and like in war time. I wish all families that have lost someone during this time the grace to be strong again.

About our bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, this is a lesson for many who still treat their wallet security as common. We need to safe some of our valuable document on google or email inbox, that will be better.

I'm sorry about your losses. This COVID crisis really is showing the worst side of everyone.

I understand that you are still feeling not well with all of those things that happened to you. But with regards to our crypto holdings, we should always think of how we'll secure it, paper wallets, or hardware wallets. You must always be proactive in keeping the recovery seeds.

First of all, I'm really sorry to read about your sad story and I'm praying for your good health, both physical and mental strength. Before telling something about the Bitcoin issue, I would like to mention one thing that made me think is the behaviour of guys who arrived to help you and caused more problems than existing ones. I'm still thinking how people can be that way during this pathetic days of the pandemic Covid 19 Coronavirus.

Now let me share about my Bitcoin experiences, I have read many things about it and eagerly looking for new information as I'm quite interested in it. The reason I'm joined this forum with a hope to have some valuable advice before I'm going to plan serving my Dubai maid service agency employees (visit website here) part of their salary via Bitcoin transfer. When I ready your story, I can learn how crucial it's to be aware of every details to be secure and error-free when dealing with the Bitcoin deals.

Anyway, thanks and your words are helpful to me. I'm again wishing you all the very best to go forward in your life in the post-Covid 19 days.

My apologies in advance for the long read. I considered myself in full control of my BTC. Yes. I still used paper wallets to store them but we was always careful to keep the copies of my private keys separate and safely hidden both at home and in our office, I did not have a huge amount of BTC but the 12 I had, had taken me some time to accumulate. I frequently traveled back to the UK, so being married to an Egyptian and living in Egypt was a good life and not a barrier to my BTC interest. That was until my Husbands business partner first exhibited signs of the COVID-19 Virus. I moved the same day to a rural part of Alexandria, to self isolate, as I am considered vulnerable. My Husband planned to spend a few weeks packing up our rented home and sorting out our business affairs, before joining me. However, just a few days before my Husband was to leave Cairo, he also developed symptoms. And although it still feels like a bad dream, 3 weeks ago I lost my Husband to the virus. Shortly after this, my former Landlord contacted me and requested, I remove my belongings from his property, I offered to continue paying rent, as I was in no state to deal with anything, but my landlord wanted the boxes moved right away .I asked my late Husband`s family to arrange to move my belongings. The next, sequence of events, were relayed to me by my former neighbours. They saw 3 cars arriving with a total of 7 men. who they later found out to be my Husbands male relative`s, all the men were wearing mask gloves etc, but apparently none of the men actually wanted to lift or touch the boxes, the men immediately started to argue over who should carry the boxes and who`s car they should be put in. The arguing escalated to fighting. None of my neighbours are sure exactly how the fires started but the fighting lasted another 20 minutes, and by then the only box not burnt was full of plates and cutlery. Everything else was burnt beyond repair. If I could turn back the clock I would firstly wish to have my Husband back. And now the reality of my situation is starting to sink in. I also wish I had thought to take at least 1 copy of my paper wallets private keys. I guess one day maybe I will see the funny side of the boxes incident, but for now everything is still too raw. I think the point I am trying to make is, in this time of COVID-19 when sickness and death is all around you it is so easy to make a simple costly mistake.
