My friend’s Facebook feed used to be a collection of pictures of her with her family, her husband and two kids. Then came the traveling–the living overseas. The posts about how good it can feel to be a doctor who retired.
And then the Covid happened. She recently communicated that she was going to let her credentials lapse, but she said God told her to wait until March 2020. And then she knew what she had to do.
My friend isn’t alone in going back to help after she’d stepped away. It’s a dated article, but this talks about people returning to work. Most of the news coverage on this topic is similarly dated. That doesn’t mean their decisions are any less amazing.
To volunteer to be in the front line is to risk your life, especially if you’re old enough to be in a risk group yourself. It’s raising your hand to care for a tsunami of risk and death.
That’s absolutely worth recognizing.
