Immigrants who live in different countries

    Mourning for loved ones who are in a different country is so hard </3</3</3 especially when they were killed for no reason and in a viscous way. I am happy for the opportunities my parents sacrificed for me but my heart is so heavy everyday whenever I think of my country and my family. I feel like I hit rock bottom with my life but at least I still make A's in school. Are there others who feel the same way as me. Do you ever wonder what made you guys special to leave instead of the other millions of people in your country who are tortured and suffering everyday.

    Take care OP. Life can be cruel and it is hard to dwell on why some make it while others don’t because in this horrific situations, so many factors come to play, including sometimes sheer luck.


    My grandfather left his first wife and son in China (back during the Japanese invasion and civil war) and migrated; after doing better, he sent money back to them but he never went back.


    I also helped a refugee once that made it out of his war torn country but only him; he cried, worried, and was depressed everyday about his family left behind. He also started to drink and it got him into minor trouble. He was then sent to a new country to be his new home (he was in the process and awaiting this when I helped him) and I hope that he can be reunited with his family one day.


    Dwelling on ‘why me’ sometimes is no good; you can only do your best with the opportunities given. Take care!

    I am going through a similar situation as your grandfather. My country been in a really bad civil war and drought since 2020 and the government is restricting access to the area and forcing all young people and teenagers to fight and many people got raped, starved to death, and tortured in horrific ways. I went to Ethiopia over the summer but I still wasnt allowed to see my family who lived in the war region. We are just now able to contact them after 2 years because the government shut down internet, electricity, and money transfers and my uncle told us that my cousin passed away but his body cannot be found because he was tortured to death and my other cousin called us and said her daughter passed away due to the famine and that she hates her life. I can't even eat without feeling guilty. </3</3</3</3</3</3</3</3

    Take care, OP. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Your helping your family by giving them hope (this is important too) means so much to them and it seems you are already trying to help in other ways. It is a very difficult position to be in. Hugs.
