This real life story makes me sad. 😢 This really is happening because of the pandemic that caught everyone offguard. Everyone has been hit--some harsh, some moderate, some mild--but everyone is affected.
I do not know how to be of comfort to you actually. I don't know what to say. But if we look at it in the positive side, at least they are still alive. They may be uprooted but they can replanted somewhere else. (I'm thinking of those whose family members have died because of the virus, and they can't even see the corpse of their loved ones. I think that one is the most devastating. 😭) Please don't get me wrong, I am not in any way downplaying your situation and your pain, I am just saying that there is still hope for them, and if compared to others, they are really still very blessed--they have a family, they have you! ❤
This pandemic is really difficult to deal with. Your family is not alone. 😭
Yes @gingbabida ...
... there is no question we all have experienced loss. The nature and to what degree varies, of course, but it doesn't change the truth. Personally, we do not believe we are anywhere close to the end of it either ...
The fundamental question before us all is whether the "Almighty" State's reaction actually has "saved" anyone. Versus simply delayed the inevitable, at a staggeringly high cost to us all ...
At no time in history has this ever been the response to times of pestilence and disease. At the end of it all, we will all have our own opinions about how effectively this "new normal" is going to be in "saving" anyone.
Not to worry about any concern of uncertainty on what to say. Thank you for your response "from the heart." I really appreciate you writing it and adding value to this post.
I really don't want to comment about what the government is doing, each has taken actions a little differently.
With our government, a Third World country, although they are doing all they can for the people, but a lot, and that is, millions, are suffering and left with nothing to eat, not just for the next week or next month, but TODAY! It's really painful to see. But what can we do? If lockdowns are not implemented, with our hospital services that can never be called a world standard, things could be uncontrollable. I don't even want to think of it.
So, with your government doing their thing, maybe it is for the good of more, if not most, but there would be people who would be severely affected. Sad to say. This is the harsh reality of life in this system. 😭
For me, there is truth ìn these words: "Do not put your trust in princes nor in a son of man, who cannot bring salvation." Human government cannot be trusted 100%.
I still wish you a good day, despite this seemingly insurmountable problem you are facing. ❤
As mentioned in this post @gingbabida ...
... as difficult as parting has been, we clearly know the impact could be far, far worse. Your post cites examples of how that is the case in your country. And in many others, all over the world.
So ... We do not face an "insurmountable problem," but simply experiencing the heartache of loss of the closeness of a loved one we have been blessed with for years.
As you say ...
... we are in agreement.
God bless and keep you and yours in these troubling times!
Thank you. 😊 You too! ❤
They can never be so far, they are in your heart, and they are just a video call away! 😍😍😍
Have a pleasant evening! 😊
Wow, that's a wonderful saying. Is it a sentence from the Bible?
