“Sometimes it is better to lose something than to never have had it at all” – Random Paper Wisdom
Dear Life Corona Virus,
What IS your problem, exactly? What have I, or any other living creature, ever done to you to be treated this way?
I know it’s not your doing that caused a dear client of mine to die. No, that was cancer (and I’ve tried pleading with cancer many times, but always in vain). I was grateful I got to say goodbye to her in person, albeit illegally regarding the strict rules you‘ve forced our country to employ, but hearing of her inevitable passing actually happening still made me sad.
I know it’s not your doing either, COVID-19, that forced me to say goodbye to my dear pet Darwin, for that was a seizure. But it was painful all the more so since I wasn’t even allowed to hold him when the vet ended his suffering. Because of you.
And I know it’s also not your doing that caused my aunt to die, either. That was cancer striking again with its ever so terrible timing.
I know none of these happenings are your fault, Corona Virus, but you do make it worse. Because funerals and cremations are now a big no-go, as you might spread swiftly among the mourning people, causing more damage than their grief alone ever could.
You force invisible barriers between us and make it more painful to deal with Life’s already unfavourable events. You layer the hurt with more hurt.
What we have done to deserve you, I will never know. But I do know that you will not get me down! Because all the people I’ve lost this week, all the souls I’ll have to miss from now on, live on in my heart ❤
And there’s no place for you there, COVID-19! Instead of the fear you’ve unleashed upon this world, my heart is filled with hope, gratitude and love.
Forever ❤
I hope you are well, Samantha. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I think nature is avenging all the damage humans have done over the years and innocent people are merely collateral damagw 😦

Thank you, Mahevash. I hope you and your family are well, too.
Nature always gets her way. And she has a reason for everything. Funny how “the weakest” always seem to carry the heavy burdens… Let’s hope this all will pass, soon.
