درماندگی یک تشییع خانه در اوج همه گیری ویروس کووید-19


متن و عکس هایی که می خوانید و می بینید تجربه یک عکاس، خانم جسیکا رینالدی از مراسم تشییع درگذشتگان ناشی از ویروس کرونا در شرق ایالت بوستون آمریکا است که برای وب سایت https://www.bostonglobe.com/ عکاسی شده است. فوت پدرم بر اثر این ویروس در غربت در حالی که از خانواده دور بود و نتوانست و نتوانستیم برای آخرین بار همدیگر را ببینیم برایم خیلی سخت و غمبار بود. ترجمه متن و عکس ها با ذکر نام عکاس و وب سایت باز نشر می کنم چون فضایش تا حدی حال دل خودم بود. نشانی عکس ها و متن: https://www3.bostonglobe.com/news/bigpicture/2020/05/05/funeral-home-copes-with-surge-during-coronavirus-pandemic/EgVG3ozZcnbsWf0NT9RLIK/story.html?p1=BP_SeePhotos&arc404=true

در روزه های عادی موسسه - جو جونیور - ممکن است 25 مراسم تشیع جنازه برگزار کند؛ در حالیکه در این آپریل -برگزاری این مراسم- 71 مورد بوده است. با توجه به افزایش موارد کووید 19 تشییع خانه خانوادگی وی در شرق بوستون آن چنان شلوغ است که موجب شده است فضای سالن ادای احترام و کافه که در حالت عادی برای نمایش عکس های افراد درگذشته استفاده می شود ، به عنوانی فضایی اضافه برای تشییع تغییر یابند. ورقه پلاستیکی نازکی که با گیره های چسپی نگه داشته می شوند تمام آن چیزی است که تابوت ها را از راهرو جدا می کند. تخته سفیدی که در طبقه پایین قرار دارد پر از تاریخ مراسم تشییع است. روز چهارشنبه 3 مورد،روز پنج شنبه 4مورد و در روز جمعه 5 مورد.

جو جونیور، پسرش جو سوم و دخترش كتی، خستگی ناپذیر کار می کنند تا همه چیز آنچنان کامل و عالی باشد که رفاه و آسایش خانواده های داغدار را فراهم کند. آنان -انگار- در حال حل رشته ای بی پایان از معمای کروناویروس هستند، مانند که کسی دفن می شود ولی خانواده اش نمی توانند حتی لباس هایش را تحویل بگیرند، یا چگونه به خانواده اش بگویند که بیشتر از 10 نفر نمی توانند هم زمان در سالن حضور داشته باشند؟ و بزرگتر آنکه چگونه می توانند به کسی تسلیت بگویند بدون آنکه یک دست به راحتی بر شانه اش بگذارند؟ افراد خانواده از هم دور می شوند بدون اینکه چشم انتظار یک آغوش از سایر افراد خانواده باشند.

من در سه روز اخیر، شش تشییع جنازه را عکاسی کردم ، همه مرگ ها ناشی از کووید 19 بود. یک زن به من گفت مادر 100 ساله اش اگر به ویروس -کووید19- دچار نمی شد همچنان زندگی را ادامه می داد. در تشییع جنازه وی فقط شش نفر حضور داشتند. همه ساکت در ردیف صندلی هایی نشسته بودند که 6 فوت از یکدیگر فاصله داشت به گونه ای که می توانستید صدای افتادن یک قطره را ​​در نمازخانه بشنوید.

در تشییع جنازه بعدی، افرادی با ماسک و دستکش در بیرون منتظر بودند تا به یک پدر 57 ساله که بر اثر کووید19 فوت شده بود ادای احترام کنند. برخی با تلفن های همراه خود را برای پخش مراسم تشییع جنازه برای کسانی که نمی توانستند در آنجا حضور یابند فیلم می گرفتند. یکی از اعضای خانواده از مردم می خواست تا متوجه جدی بودن موضوع باشند و در خانه بمانند.

Funeral director Joe Ruggiero Jr. inspected a suit that his daughter, Catie, found hanging in the closet for a client to wear. Because so many people are dying in nursing homes or assisted living facilities, families are not able to get back inside to collect the clothes that they would have dressed their loved ones in for their burial, so Ruggiero has contracted a company to have clothing delivered for burials. In this case, the coat was an old one of his. (Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff)

Fr. Eric Bennett prayed over the casket of a man who died of COVID-19. Because the man’s family live in Italy, where they were in lockdown, they were unable to travel here for the funeral. The only other person in attendance was funeral director Joe Ruggiero III. Under normal circumstances the man’s body would have been shipped back to Italy, but because of restrictions put into place due to coronavirus that wasn’t possible. (Jessica Rinaldi/Globe Staff)
