It's almost 3 weeks since the first earthquake hit Nepal. I, Karoline was in Kathmandu when it striked and I was there for 6 days before I returned to Norway as planned the 30th of April. It's the most horrible, terrifying thing that has ever happened in my life. And now I'm here in Norway. Safe and "sound", but worried about my Nepali family and friends, for Nepali people in general and as a country. I feel really sad and frustrated, And I am here... in safe, little Norway. I didn't loose my family, my house or my future and still I feel empty in a way I have never felt before. When people ask me how I am, my honest answer would be that I don't really know how I feel. Leaving Nepal this time is one of the most difficult things I have ever done. Rather than feeling relieved to go home and be safe, I felt I was leaving my close ones and my second home behind. The frustration I have felt earlier about all the unfairness in this world is just feeling a lot heavier than before, and when I came back to Norway I was physically exhausted in a way I've never been before... And I am one of the lucky ones!!! So when I'm feeling like this, I somehow understand Jhalak Bahadur and that after returning to his no longer existing village he now feels like a body without soul :( Nepal needs us to continue to support with money for rebuilding peoples lives and to get help to deal with their post traumatic stress after going trough a crisis like this!
