#COVID #orphans face grief and poverty as world moves on | The Japan Times https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2023/06/15/world/covid-orphans-world-moves-on/ “Between 10.5 million and 12.4 million children are estimated to have lost at least one #parent or #caregiver to #COVID19, a 2022 study in The Lancet showed, many struggling with poverty as well as grief due to the loss of their family’s main breadwinner.”

"This was the first orphanage we visited yesterday on Children's Day to hand out sweets & juice + essentials, what I found strange the first time I visited an orphanage in 🇺🇦 is they always want to sing and insist on more songs, it brings them so much joy and for me now too 🤗" - Richard Woodruff, @frontlinekit

Comments:
- Singing is an important and underrated stress reliever.
- They have their voice! And their singing is what they have as a gift back

"These agents recruited boys throughout the Midwest to the factory either alone or with their families. Boys could be obtained from orphanages from as far away as New York City. Trains of orphans and other vagrant children arranged by the Charles Loring Brace CAS ended up being a conduit into the factories."

💫 Trenchcoater History: When the war ended the men who could no longer ignore the night kept contact with each other. They kept their trench coats as a symbol, a badge of office. They formed a society and called each other “trenchcoaters.” http://mage.gearsonline.net/anders/factions/orphans/trenchcoater/history.html #orphans

In fact, according to #Russian social law, all #orphans are entitled to housing when they turn 18. However, in the Far East region of #Amur alone on the border with #China, 3,500 orphans are waiting to be given an apartment.

The #Russian Far East Amur region recruits orphans by providing apartments to take part in the war in #Ukraine. "Today, among the #orphans, those people who participate or have participated in the special military operation have a priority right to receive a housing certificate," said region's social affairs minister, Natalya #Kiselyova, according to a press release from the region's administration on Monday.

"He had waited long enough. He opened the front door and looked about. The cats, as usual, lurked at the edge of the yard. They didn't come close. They didn't dare. They just wanted him to feel bad about himself. Which was rude, if you think about it. Cats, the Mayor decided, are rude."

"Crows!" she hooted triumphantly, and she pulled out a book called 'Crows: The Most Wonderful Birds in the World!' Anthea had read it before, a long time ago. It was so overly complimentary of crows that Anthea suspected that a crow might have actually written it. Which, frankly, wouldn't have surprised her, given crows and their nature.

When someone loses their parents, life instantly becomes a daunting challenge and a fascinating journey all at once. The variation on this spectrum is coloured by emotions, and is connected with the phase one is in along the way - often also after decades. #bereavement #orphans #ChildhoodBereavement

James 1:27-28 (NKJV)
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

>"it's not a #religion, it's a #relationship." 🤮
Put this #hippy #theology in the trash where it belongs. It is indeed a relationship, and it is acted out through religion. We are to care for #orphans and #widows (no one has done this better than #Christians).

Today in Labor History December 6, 1907: A coal mine explosion in Monongah, West Virginia, killed 362 workers. It was the worst mining disaster in U.S. history. 171 of them Italian migrants. Others killed in the disaster included Russians, Greeks, and immigrant workers from Austria-Hungary. 216 women were widowed, and the miners left behind 475 children, with a further 31 born after the disaster.

Interesting. Wolfgang apparently deleted his original reply (and re-posted the same text https://fediscience.org/@wolfgangcramer/109460629944265495 ).
But now, my reply above to Wolfgang's original has lost the context to the broader conversation altogether.

The birdsite works differently on deleted replies within a conversation. 🐦shows a system message "was deleted by original author" and replies to it are still tied as child to the toplevel or parent posting.

The holiday season is here; this year and every year, people feel the loss of loved ones acutely, never showing others the hurt. Be kind. If you're feeling overwhelmed with loss yourself, be kind to yourself. This is actually a pretty rough go for so many. For those quietly remembering and missing their loved ones, peace be with you. #widows #orphans #grief #loss
