PHOTO OF THE DAY JUST KIDDIN’, SERIOUSLY By Sahar Moussa [email protected] he global coronavirus pandemic threw us all straight into a panic, and more than a year and Ta half later, many have still not recovered. Millions have died, lost their loved ones, lost their jobs, their homes, and their livelihood. Others have been stranded in third countries or stuck in their homelands without work. Now we begin to see (insha’Allah) some light at the end of the tunnel. Now we begin to hope that we are nearing the end of this saga and that life may return to something akin to normal. But even if we are able to resume work and life 100 percent, and even if we are able to travel freely and to gather in groups, life will not be back to normal for those who have lost everything. So how can we get past it? How can we start to envision the future? For working adults, we spend most of our life in the office with colleagues. So the first thing we can do is be kinder and more supportive of each other. We can acknowledge those we have lost due to whatever cir- cumstances and we can support and encourage those who remain. We can listen and grieve for the past KUWAIT: A photo taken from the Mishref walkway. -
