>  
> **Tapaita Lapao’o** is the woman who was captured in a heartbreaking video crying behind the gates of a managed isolation facility while reaching out to a hearse carrying her late mother.

> In between heart-wrenching sobs, a few disjointed words can be heard: “Mum. Please. I cannot reach out. Hold my hand. My mother.”  
>  
> She is heard apologising to her late mum: “I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry … I cannot come.”  
>  
> Speaking to the Herald, the distraught daughter of 80-year-old **Ilaisaane Saafi** said it was one of the hardest moments of her life.  
>  
> “I wanted to just go and kiss her. She won’t come back and I won’t see her again. I wanted to thank her for everything she’s done for me.”
