Sad Update
Added 2020-10-29 09:15:27 +0000 UTCFew days ago, in the middle of the night I got a call from a close family relative telling me that my... Hmm... Kind of aunt's (well... a daughter of my grandmother's sister) husband has committed suicide.
He was a cancer patient going through all the required medical checkups to be put on a waiting list for a liver-transplant. Personally I think that, with all that is happening around the country in the medical system due to the COVID-19, he lost the sight of the light at the end of the tunnel and decided to deal with it this way.
The hardest part was to break the news to my mother as she and the "aunt" are very close.
The rest of the night was rather sleepless and the portrait image posted above is basically just a result of me trying to focus on other things.
Aside from that, it looks like that my mother is recovering relatively fine. She is still in a lot of pain, but it now shifted from the pain caused by the nerves getting squeezed in the cracks of the damaged vertebrae to a pain caused by muscles in her back.
The COVID-19 related measures are getting tighter as a nightly curfew is now in effect and if the numbers keep growing then we are probably going to see another country-wide lockdown.

I'm very sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences, and best wishes for your safety.
