This morning I went to the hospital with a woman and her baby, because the baby was really ill. When Elie and I walked around we met a group of people, led by a priest. They were preparing to carry the dead bodies of the people without any family member left out of the morgue to bring them to a special cemetery. I talked to them and so they asked me if I’d like to help. I didnt like the idea of carrying dead people and the stench was awful, but anyway I decided to do so. I went into the Morgue and saw how they put dead babies into a coffin, not an easy thing to see. While I was helping to carry the coffins to the car, I saw many dead bodies, some people full of blood because they died in accidents,… Almost finished, they opened another door to another room. This was the most disgusting and disrespectful thing I have ever seen in my life. Bodies on top of each other, limbs falling apart, people completely rotten: it was a room where dead had to stay until their lawcase was finished. I have seen many horrormovies but never something that disgusting. The stench was so bad that I always tried to stand next to someone smoking a cigarette. For the first time I loved the smell of the smoke.. I didn’t even ask to take a picture because you could not have looked more than 2 seconds on it, too shocking. Afterwards I accompanied them to the cemetery (which was a piece of land where they bury the coffins) and the priest held kind of a funeral to give this people some respect, rest and peace…
It was a hard day and a shocking experience, but I still live and: “what doesn’t kill you, only makes you stronger”. So I will do the same again next week…
This evening another bad thing happened this evening: Sassie, Natachas and Audels dog, died. Natachas friend went outside with him, a car came (not that fast), for sure he saw the dog, he continued to drive, rolled over him (and at the latest now he should have noticed the accident), but he carried on driving, rolling a second time over the dog with the back tire (this first time Sassie was still alive, the second time killed him). Completely ignorant he just drove away… Thats so horrible. How can someone do this? It was even one of the neighbors… Natacha is so sad, she loved Sassie so much…
