[OPINION] I was trying to heal from trauma and grief – and then the pandemic happened

lockdown

But last November, my baby died upon birth due to an undetected gestational hypertension that led to placental abruption , and my life was changed forever. I started regaining my confidence after two months. I started volunteering in another NGO. I met up with friends, learned how to bake, and even started a plant-based diet. I still cried occasionally, but I had started developing a positive outlook.A community anxious and grieving. The article said it’s okay to grieve as we are in a state of uncertainty and anxiety. I would like to agree with that. People are scared, anxious, angry, and even lonely, as physical distance becomes a universal rule.

This may not be the case for our collective healing, however. The fight against COVID-19 is still on, and this is not just a fight against the virus, but also a fight against an oppressive and abusive system. The most vulnerable to the virus are the poor; same as in other disasters, the poor are on the front lines. They remain the most marginalized, with no access to health care, decent housing, and jobs. They are more likely to be killed by diseases and calamities.

PANGGULO TALAGA SA PILIPINAS TONG PUTANGINANG RAPPLER NATO EH.

Hi .. it is not on the government that na maging okay tayo . Nasa tao yan. Nakakadagdag panic lang ka.tigilan mo yan . Magdasal ka nalang.

Everywhere in the world is not OK Rappler?!!! Your opinion is out of the universe!

This is not helping but worsen the situation.

You are not helping. I just wish the management and all employees' families stay fit and healthy and will not die because of COVID19. I am just an ordinary person from this country but I am not as idiot as you all are.
