1. COVID-19 Effects: Moving on, are we really?
It has been more than two years since the world was first hit by the
COVID-19 pandemic, and the devastating effects of the virus are still
being felt across the globe. The virus has taken countless lives,
leaving behind shattered families and communities. The shock of the
pandemic continues to reverberate around the world, and people are
struggling to come to terms with the scale of the tragedy.
One of the reasons why the world is still in shock over the effects of
COVID-19 is the sheer scale of the pandemic. The virus has infected
millions of people and claimed the lives of millions, according to the
WHO. Globally, as of 8:47 p.m. CET on February 17, 2023,
there have been 756,581,850 confirmed cases of COVID-19,
including 6,844,267 deaths, reported to WHO. As of 19
February 2023, a total of 13,201,844,137 vaccine doses have

has also disrupted our lives in ways that we never imagined, forcing
us to adapt to a new reality that is vastly different from what we
were used to.
The pandemic has also exposed deep inequalities in our societies,
with the most vulnerable communities being hit the hardest. The
virus has disproportionately affected people from lower socio-
economic backgrounds, as well as people from ethnic minority
communities. These groups are more likely to have underlying
health conditions and are more likely to be employed in jobs that put
them at higher risk of exposure to the virus.
The loss of loved ones has been one of the most devastating effects of
the pandemic. Many families have been torn apart by the virus, with
loved ones being taken away before their time. The grief and trauma
of losing someone to COVID-19 can be overwhelming, and many
families are struggling to come to terms with their loss.
So, what can broken families do to move on in the wake of this
tragedy? Here are some practical tips:
1. Seek support: It’s important to reach out for help and
support during this difficult time. Talk to friends and family
members and consider joining a support group for people
who have lost loved ones to COVID-19.
2. Take care of your mental health: Grief can take a toll on
your mental health, so it’s important to take care of yourself
during this time. Try to get enough sleep, eat well, and

3. exercise regularly. Consider talking to a therapist or
counsellor if you’re struggling to cope.
3. Create a memorial: Honouring the memory of your loved
one can be a helpful way to process your grief. Consider
creating a memorial, such as a scrapbook or a photo album,
or planting a tree in their honour.
4. Give back: Helping others can be a healing experience.
Consider volunteering for a COVID-19 relief organization
or donating to a charity that supports families affected by
the virus.
In conclusion, the shock of the COVID-19 pandemic is still being felt
around the world, and the loss of life has left many broken families
struggling to come to terms with their grief. While there is no easy
way to move on from this tragedy, seeking support, taking care of
your mental health, creating a memorial, and giving back can all be
helpful ways to cope with the loss of a loved one. Let us continue to
support each other through this difficult time and work together to
heal and rebuild.
