Are we prepared for mourning? / myLot

April 5, 2020 11:18am CST

When we are alone at home there are several things we think about. I am old and don´t worry about my death much. I have led and I have lived a good life. But what about mourning? I lost a grandson to cancer almost 20 years ago and I still mourn him. He is not a number, he is my Tomás. He was a seven year old child who wanted to be an entomologist when he grew up. All and everyone of us have family and friends that could be infected. And that makes everyone of us family with each other. And we all mourn for each of the dead ones as brethren and we all sing that we shall survive. Let us pray if we know how. And let us send positive thinking to everyone on earth. There are no limits and no countries. We are together in this.

We all should bow our heads in prayer for those with the virus and for those that have passed. We are definitely all in this together.

You are right Marga, we are all humans, with our flaws, but with our good qualities too, this is the moment to be all united and help each other, we can make it!

@marguicha This is what we have to do, I am so grateful to the many volunteers who are helping the seniors now.

Certainly, there isn't a country that isn't, or isn't going to be, affected by this insidious disease. As you say, there are no limits and no countries.

I'm sorry for your loss of your grandson. Poor boy. I'm happy to hear you've lived a good life.

@marguicha of course. But it's going to happen, unfortunately.

I wonder if everyone is going to be infected before this is all over. Fortunately it seems to have a high survival rate, but no one knows who will live or die after catching this.
