We can no longer ignore it: the coronavirus crisis is affecting the whole world.
Nurses and doctors all over the world are doing their best to help the sick. And we must also do our part to help prevent the spread of infections.
Yet there are thousands of people who have lost a loved one.
Hollywood star Pierce Brosnan, for example. The famous actor shared an emotional tribute to his deceased friend Jay Benedict, who died earlier this month from coronavirus.
Losing someone you love not only hurts, but leaves a void in your heart that can never be filled.
Therefore, the coronavirus affects everyone. Rich or poor, black or white, wherever in the world.
Thousands of families have lost a family member. Thousands of people have lost a friend, colleague, or partner.
Pierce Brosnan is also mourning.
Good friend dies from corona
On April 4, his good friend and actor, Jay Benedict, died from coronavirus. The news was reported by the Irish newspaper Irish Mirror.
Jay was known from films like “Batman: The Dark Knight Rises” and “Aliens.”
The man was 68.
Heartfelt words for friend
On his Instagram page, Pierce Brosnan talks about his deceased friend in a heartbreaking message.
“My dear friend Jay Benedict, my brother, did not wake from his sleep and left us. We were friends for years, almost 40. This photo was taken last May outside the Lyric Theater in London. Jay and I played brothers in the movie ‘Filumena,’ directed by Franco Zeffirelli,” the actor writes on Instagram.
“Life for Jay and myself was beautiful, both on stage and off. We often laughed at the world around us, at ourselves, and always looked at the beautiful side of life. He was a courageous man who had an incredible aura about him. Every room he entered, he lit up, everywhere he traveled, he showed his warm character. He was intelligent and had great compassion for others. He gave a lot to others, but above all, he gave us his love for life,” Brosnan writes.
Pierce Brosnan concluded the message with a message of support to Jay’s wife and sons.
“May God bring peace, that is my heartfelt wish. Uncle Pierce.”
This is heartbreaking. We cannot imagine how difficult it must currently be for Jay’s family. We are all thinking of you! Big hug to all of you!
