You can't afford to die now.

Dying has been part of our lives and some of us are afraid to die due to some reasons they can't explain even the science can't. Now that the pandemic is still ongoing, many innocent lives has passed away already and their families don't even see them in their last moments here in Earth due to the threat of Covid-19 which until now is evolving trying to eliminate the human race.

Will the human race can survive this alien species, how long can we last? This question popped up in my mind these past few days while having body pain and cough. Upon observing the government how they act on it, it seems they are having a hard time again just like when this pandemic started because cases in different areas are on the go again, increasing in a rapid state. Well I hope it will not pose another lockdown again because in my opinion, the citizens can't afford to have one again.

Anyway let's talk about death today and I know this one has cause too much grief in these past months due to covid cases. Dying now would be more worst than dying. Why I said that? Because the way they treat you when you are infected with the virus and you die is not something a human to experience. Especially to us Filipinos because it's our tradition to mourn our love ones for 9 days.

I don't know about others how they mourn their love ones but for us Ilocanos, we mourn them upto 9 days then we celebrate their 40 days with a simple gatherings together with our relatives.

In this pandemic days that tradition in mourning our love ones for 9 days has not been followed for almost years already. Now, you can't even mourn your loves ones once they are infected with the virus. Well we can't avoid that because that's the protocol we are following regarding these patients.

It's a sad reality we are in right now and I'm questioning the air when these situations will become normal so that we can mourn our love ones again just like before. Losing someone can be a hard thing to accept that's why we are mourning them for days in order to accept that they are gone already.

One of our neighbor last month has passed away due to heat stroke. He died in their home and due to high cases in our municipality again, when the mayor learned this incident she immediately deployed those personel working in Municipal health office wearing those PPE's then while the corpse was in the morge, they did the swabtest.

Learning that from the family of our neighbor made me thinks that they are insane. They didn't respect the dead body and even they explained the cause of his death, the mayor still insist then the magic happened. The family is about to take home the corpse but here comes the result of the swabtest, the family was shocked because the result came out to be positive but how.

The sad part was they were not able bring home their father and the MHO personels took control of the corpse. The plan to mourn their father at their house became meaningless just because they tested him out of nowhere. I don't know if the family took a move to or file a motion to the mayor's office.

Dying due to covid now is the ugliest thing that can happen to you. In just one swabtest and when the result is positive, everything will turn to nothingness. You can't have a peaceful rest because they will wrap you with tape just like a mummy then they will bury you without the presence of your family. How cruel is that.

That's why sometimes the government can't be trusted at all due to some cases like this one. The guy died peacefully but he had a terrible funeral. This pandemic is inflicting more pains over and over again and when this will stop. No one knows when but if we will work together in unity and will have a better response to this cases of covid, I'm sure we will achieve the normal life again.

I'm the one who's getting tired of watching the news about those cases and I know I'm not the only one who's been tired watching all of those. That's why sometimes I don't even want to watch the news because the question " When this will all end? " will just pop up.

That's why friends I will remind you to take care of yourself and ofcourse your love ones because in this times, dying is the worst can happen in your life. We can't see the enemy and still it's roaming around freely.

This is my article for today and I hope everybody is in good condition despite the situation now. Thank you for reading this far my friends and see yah in my next articles.

We cannot mourn to our family members when they died with Covid-19. That's the hardest part is that the last chance for you to bid farewell was taken away. The hope to see your loved ones one more time just fade away like that.

It's really making a lot of family to suffer more despite losing their family in just a snap. Nowadays it's really unpredictable that's why we need to double our effort in observing proper protocols.

It must have been really painful for those that lost their family to covid-19. They wouldn't even get to see them for the las time to bid their final goodbyes... I can imagine how painful it must be for them........

Losing our love ones is painful itself so it's more painful not to see them for the last time. It's not an easy situation we are right now so let's keep safe always.

This pandemic really makes people to suffer, imagine knowing your love one died because of this virus then we can't do anything or even stay close to their lifeless body. The father of one of my friends died because of this and I'm hurt seeing my friend can't even see his father's wake. Then they have to be quarantine.

When the pandemic started everything not in good image. Everything's changes Jher. It really painful especially the topic of your article Jher. It's really sad and hurtful when the family haven't got a chance to see their love ones.

It's similar happened in our place jher. The friend of my schoolmate tested positive and the family cried a lot because they didn't even got a chance to see their son. If you will thinking this situation it will break you into pieces.

I hope everything will be back to normal. We keep praying because I know God listen our prayers.🙏

Regardless of what's happening now I really hope that it will be back to normal again where there is no sign of fear in people faces when they go out. It's really hard to accept these scenarios happening now but we must move forward in order to claim the normal life we lost.
