Global Day of Mourning
On January 11, 2020 a 61-year-old man from Wuhan, China became the first reported casualty of coronavirus. Since then this lethal disease has infected more than 50 million people worldwide and killed more than 1 million.
Who among us is not mourning something?
A loved one who has died, a job lost, high school graduation cancelled, family members separated.
Dreams are deferred, and friends can’t embrace at a time of grief.
It is time to mourn the dead and all we have lost to this disease.
Radical Joy for Hard Times declares Sunday, January 10, 2021 a
GLOBAL DAY OF MOURNING
