“My wife Shoshi has always been my hero – but I never knew how strong she was until this year. It was a regular morning, and the kids were playing in the living room, when she asked me to come speak with her in another room.
“Something’s wrong,” she told me. Her stomach was swollen, and she insisted that something didn’t feel right. We went to the emergency room, expecting to clarify that all was fine and go home. But the doctors looked at her and said, “Pack your bags for the hospital.”
Within hours it was confirmed: Cancer.

Even the most seemingly content families have their private share of struggles. Some families, however, seem to get an excessive amount of suffering. The Goldbergs, of the Geulah neighborhood, were known by many to be one of those families.
Father Rabbi Hillel Goldberg had recently battled cancer, a shock to his wife and eight kids. They had already struggled with raising a severely autistic son, and the Rabbi’s illness put even more pressure on the family. Then, another son was diagnosed with cancer as well. They did everything they could to stay afloat.
When Rabbi Goldberg went into remission, his family breathed of relief. They were completely caught off guard last week, when he began to develop symptoms of the coronavirus.

Last night, Rebbetzin Reitza Brim’s 5 year old son asked her a routine
question: “Mama, I’m hungry. What’s for dinner?”. When she heard that question, she ran out of the room in tears and locked herself in the bathroom to cry. She was devastated because the answer was “nothing.” It wasn’t always this way. The Brims were a close-knit family with
12 children, and a solid parnassah. They were known to go out of their way to give tzedakah. They had the merit to marry off their oldest kids. Then, tragedy struck and everything changed.
One of their sons became critically ill with a rare disease. To survive,

Twelve devastated children gathered at the Sanhedria cemetery last night to mourn the passing of their father, 48-year-old Rav Menashe Schiff. Schiff lost his life to coronavirus complications.
 
The Schiff family has been shaken not once or twice, but three times in the last month: The Rav’s father, Rav Yosef Schiff, passed away from the same virus as well. Rav Yosef’s wife, the matriarch of a large family, was so shaken by the news of his passing that she, suffering from COVID as well, had a heart attack upon hearing the news and passed away as well. The triple death has left the Schiffs deeply shaken.
