Does that make sense?

He thought how hard it must have been to to hear about a loved one dying.

should there be the word about between thought and how?

thanks for looking at this “awesome question”.

How hard it must have been, to hear about a loved one dying, he thought.

I don’t know what is correct, but if it were me, I’d add “about”. Then again, its been decades since I studied grammar.

It is perfectly OK as it is.

(But you have typed the word ‘to’ twice!)
