What do you do when you can do nothing about it

With COVID-19 striking hard, everyday we are hearing stories of people who lost their loved ones… someone’s dad, mom, husband, wife, brother, sister, son, daughter, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle… any relation that you can think of.

Otherwise healthy, young, athletic, nothing matters in front of this virus. Nothing like this none of us witnessed before.

Powerful, wealthy, healthy alike — all fall victim to this virus which is not even one hundredth of a grain of salt.

People I talked to a few days ago, in distress they are, of losing loved ones.

These are times I feel so helpless, what do I do even to help?

These are friends who are well off, beyond a point money cannot help.

Alone they are from this point of life, people who have lost their loved ones.

Time heals everything is what they say, but these scars are there ever to stay.

Hoping this will end soon, we will move on, with the thoughts of who we lost staying us through our way.
