Like most people in New Zealand, and beyond, for me, this week has been about hope.
Every day I have woken up hoping to hear that overnight rescue workers had found a miracle survivor from last week’s Christchurch earthquake. Day after day, my hope continued, despite constant images of the utter devastation the earthquake caused.
Now, it seems, that hope is all but gone. The rescue operation is now focused solely on recovery. While this provides certainty for families wondering what had happened to their loved ones, it must also be so incredibly sad, as I am sure, that like all of us, they had hoped for a miracle, but now the last shred of hope is gone.
