Difficult days

26 December 2020 / 18:39

Tehran (ISNA) – It is over a year since the beginning of the coronavirus outbreak, and hundreds of thousands of people have died of the disease thus far.
Iran is one of the countries hardest hit by the coronavirus. According to officials, Iran has surpassed 54,000 deaths as a result of the disease.
These days, life has become difficult for all of us, but in the same tragic situation, there are those who, not only because of their job, but also as human beings, sympathize with others, suffer like them, and sometimes forget their pain.
Nurses are the ones who, in this rough year, are asked a question about choosing the toughest day of their work. When it is asked, they remain silent and ponder so that they may find an answer among all those rough times.
These photographs show moments when nurses are thinking about their most difficult times and maintain silence.
The moments with deep silence as if nurses are reviewing their life.

She said, "In May of this year, my father had to undergo chemotherapy and I could not be with my father because I work in a hospital and I could have infected him as I had contracted COVID-19 a month before that.
I wanted to resign from my job, but I said, what happens to coronavirus patients? I still see my father from afar and cannot approach him."

She said, "My bitterest memory is from a 26-year-old girl. She and her father were hospitalized because of coronavirus. The girl’s father died of the disease, but she did not know that. I did not know what to say to her. We told the girl that her father had been taken to another hospital.
Two days after her father's funeral, the girl's illness worsened and she died."
