Editing has always taken an emotional toll. But now, every tragic image makes me think: someone worked so hard to keep this person alive
he week I came back to work after parental leave, my daughter decided she didn’t want to sleep. My husband was on a work trip, and I was waking up every hour and a half to go through the long list of things she could possibly need – whether it was milk, a diaper change, a cuddle or an extra layer of clothing.
On the third morning, I found myself attempting to run our early breaking news operation while feeding my five-month-old, desperately in need of a shower and coffee. My mother, who had come to help for a few days, waited to take over.Days before I returned to work, the Ukraine war had begun. The week I sat at my desk for the first time in months, photos of children’s bodies in Bucha flooded my screen.
In my new world, I see every photo or video and think: someone worked so hard to keep this person alive. Someone woke up every hour to feed this baby, to soothe her to sleep, to watch her every breath when she had her first fever. It doesn’t matter where the child was born, or to whom. When Tyre Nichols was killed, my husband sent me an article about his last moments. “I think it’s profound that in so many of these situations, people are calling out for their moms,” he said.
