“Oh wow! That’s great; my mother’s a teacher…….well, was a teacher.” Three years later and it was still painful for Chris to talk about his family in the past tense. Chris let out a deep sigh. “Sorry, I still get a bit emotional when I talk about my family. I haven’t heard from them in nearly three years.”
Chris certainly wasn’t alone in this. So many people had suffered the loss of loved ones – some had died and some were still missing. Many witnessed their loved ones dying in front of them. Chris couldn’t imagine the pain of that. At least there was a chance Chris’ family was still alive. Although, sometimes Chris wondered whether or not it would be better to know for sure that they were dead. At least he would have some closure.
