Grief is in two parts. The first is the loss.
The second is the remaking of life...
The second is the remaking of life...
Saying farewell to a loved one. Today because of
this virus pandemic many cannot say their final goodbyes
to loved one. You can see them through glass,
but you cannot give them one last hug.
This family had a death of a loved one. Because of the
virus they were unable to say goodbye or have a funeral.
They did the best under the circumstances. It was a farewell
by the river. Red roses were scattered and something
was read from a book. I am guessing the Bible.
As we did our walk yesterday afternoon, we came
across the roses floating along the river. I stopped and
for a moment I was very sad thinking of what's happening
today. I can't imagine not hugging the ones I love one
last time. This family did not have that chance.
Life goes on. Little differently that what we are used to.
Everything is still. It seems as if life just came to a halt. Eerie.
Our neighbor is in New York. She was supposed
to be home over a month ago, but unfortunately
she fell, broke her pelvis, and now because
of the virus cannot get back home.
From her home she saw the US Navy Hospital Ship
along the Hudson River as it made it's way to be docked in
New York City, the epicenter of the US coronavirus outbreak.
These are a few of the pictures she sent to me. Impressive.
This ship has 12 fully- equipped operating rooms
and 1,000 hospital beds on board. Help is here.
Happy news today: pet adoptions are way
up amid coronavirus crisis, even with shelters
closed to the public. I just hope that after this
crisis people do not give up their pets🙏
Back to basics is not so bad at all. Hours on the balcony.
Long walks, and drives. Pretty relaxing and quite enjoyable.
Life is full of surprises and you never know where
it will take you and who will cross your path.

Uncertainty is life's way of saying that there
are only a few things you can control...
