Trubchaninova is among the many elderly people left behind or who chose to stay as millions of Ukrainians fled across borders or to other parts of the country. They were the first to be seen on empty streets after the Russians withdrew from communities around the capital, Kyiv, peering from wooden gates or carrying bags of donated food back to freezing homes.

She last saw her son on March 30. She thought he was taking a walk as part of his long recovery from a stroke. "It would be crazy to go farther," she said. She wonders whether he went driving to search for a cellphone connection to call his own son and wish him happy birthday.

She believes she knows where her son's body is now, in a refrigerator truck outside Bucha's morgue. She is desperate to find an official to hurry the process of inspecting her son and issuing the documents needed to release him.Once she collects his body, she'll need a casket. A casket equals a month of her pension, or about $90. She, like other elderly Ukrainians, hasn't received her pension since the war began.

She recalled watching her television, when it still worked, in the early days of the war, as broadcasts showed so many Ukrainians fleeing. She worried about them. Where are they going? Where will they sleep? What will they eat? How will they remake their lives again? The cemetery where she wants to place her son can be seen from Vadym's old room, where his canes are still propped against the door.
