Having lost her grandparents during the pandemic, Elona Duro tearfully shows her

Journalist Elona Duro was recently invited to the show "S'e luan topi" where she told how she lost her grandparents, one at the beginning of the pandemic and the other at its peak, in July 2020. 

"Just before the month of February, my grandmother, that is, my mother's mother, passed away. And during the time of the pandemic, in July 2020, when we still didn't know what it was and it was that bad wave that shut us all down, my father's grandmother passed away.

I mostly stayed with my father's grandparents. Mother Drita passed away at the beginning of July 2020. This was very shocking because she was that strong grandmother, of course with those discomforts and diseases of age but not to run away and leave us so suddenly. It has been one of the saddest summers for me and she was the last grandma to leave of the four and the last grandparent door to close. We would no longer say, I will go to my mother, I will go to my grandfather. I'm going to eat my mother's pancakes, lie on my mother's lap.

I felt completely helpless in front of the doctors who had waited for me with the idea of ??what we can do to save him. But it was too late and too soon, not that it left us much time to care.

The escort to the last residence was also very sad, where not many people would gather to honor him properly. I, who grew up in her bosom, also had a son and I was very afraid to give him that last kiss and hug.

I spent a very sad summer and I said, the door of the grandparents was closed, which of course would come with age and time, but when it comes so suddenly and finds you so unprepared to help it and do everything to save it, it was..." Elona said.

The journalist said that he remained a hostage, not only that he could not do anything to save him, but also the way he sent him away without performing those traditional mortuary rites that characterize us Albanians.

"I have been held hostage. Not only was I unable to do anything to save him, because it was neither in my power, nor in the power of the doctors, nor in the time in which we lived. But I was held hostage by the way I conveyed it and the next day it was no longer the implementation of those rites that we Albanians keep. Some days, or some days, but you can also enjoy that follow-up lunch among friends... but we were like that with masks, away, finishing work quickly", said Duro.
