A year ago, I woke up to the news of the massive earthquake in northeastern Japan. The ensuing days, weeks, and months have been an emotional roller-coaster ride as I have experienced anxiety, helplessness, hopelessness, hopefulness, depression, gratitude.
I have traveled to Japan three times since last March and witnessed how people are coping with this new situation forced upon them.
In an instant, the tsunami carried away everything: lives, cars, houses, and the entire downtown. A year later, people are being tested for their resilience more than ever.
Even though rebuilding is happening slowly on the coast, it will be a long time before people can feel life is back to normal. For some, that day may never come. Life is so hard and painful sometimes.
