Unending Darkness (at night after typhoon)

If I could ask God I want to ask him, "why is this happening?"

Everything turned into nothingness after what just happened. The house was built for many years without continuous construction because of an unstable source of income and life status. We worked so hard for this even though it was a longtime before we could say there's a place we finally could shelter ourselves. From the betrayal of cold feelings during the night and from the disturbance of rainfall during sleep time. We did everything just to secure ourselves to fall asleep at night peacefully. But now, with just an hour everything was wasted.

Where to sleep now? Even when I'm inside I can still see the sky clearly. What shall I do if ever the sky will cry upon seeing us trying our best to sleep with this kind of state, no roofs, no walls and no room. Why did we try our best last time just to have a shelter when for an instant it will just be faded? It was built for 10 years before it was completed because of not enough to finish it right away. Now, just that, as if we didn't spend blood and tears before it could make it happen it would just be taken away from us. How about the emotions we went through?

I know it was not just us who experienced this devastation, this destruction that it's hard to fix. Roaming around, seeing the situation of our village. It was hell, even trees remained lying in the ground because they had no strength to stand. Houses that it's hard to see one because the pieces of it are nowhere to be found. It's not small, it's huge and wide and yeah,I don't know where to find those materials to assemble it again like a puzzle.

Some people are sleeping outside, next to the road. Some are sleeping in the evacuation center, same as my siblings. Not afraid of being threatened but worried when the rain starts to fall. I know this sounds emotional or just being dramatic but how can I not after what just happened. How can I prevent my tears from falling when I can't believe this is how it feels to be homeless.

For now I'm still confused, searching for the words to say after being shocked by what just happened. I have so many words to say but my tears speak louder for now.

Thank you for reading

Every emotions you feel right now is valid. I pray for all of you and my family too.My heart goes to the old people like your mother. Like my Nanay is also weak but she survive it. This is what what happened to ours in Hilongos. Let us start from scratch. Let us not give up. Let all be gone, but not our faith to God.

Truth. This begs repeating 👆

Head high bro, I know you and your fam can survive this.

I was one of those people who can relate to your situation. I've experienced both Typhoon Yolanda and Odette. I know we will survive because we can.

This is really a scary situation and must be hard for you to cope up with this disastrous situation. Stay safe my friend...

This just sucks, not a good way to enter Christmas-time. I realize everything is expensive and scarce there now, but I do hope you can at least get some tarps put up to protect your things from any rainstorms. I am hoping and praying no more massive storms follow in the wake of this one.

Sending love Pauman. I'm glad that you have this space, online, with community who care about you where you can express how you feel. Even with no home, you are still expressing yourself beautifully and that is pretty incredible 🙃

Your emotions are valid. Let those tears fall down from your eyes and express every feeling. Let it out. Use this platform to share your situation and your emotions. Stay strong Paul!

What a sad sight to see, especially with Christmas coming up, I'm so sorry that you had to experience this. I don't know how you feel right now because I've never been in a situation like that, but I do hope you recover from this. Hoping that no more unfortunate events happen ever again.
