REFLECTIONS
It’s hard not to be enveloped by emotions when there is death.
You could see it in the faces of Dr Fong, and Dr Aalisha Sahukhan tonight.
It wasn’t difficult to spot the slight quiver in their voices. Overcome by the moment, by the emotional responses that they were trying to cage in, they lived the sad moment for every Fijian who was able to watch the live feed on the government site. Sadly this wasn’t on national television or covered by the media live.
Death is inevitable. But death under these circumstances can be overpowering.
