Ill adults
If the title shocked you, we do not recommend reading the post about the Chikvaidze family. Those words are not the most horrifying part of this story. The family consists of four people: Giorgi, his wife Nato, and their two charming children, 4-year-old Dimitri and 2-year-old Anna. Currently, only Anna is free from any illness, as the rest of the family members cannot boast of good health. Giorgi suffers from epilepsy and a herniated spine. Nato has mental health issues. She speaks with difficulty. Sometimes she falls into a deep depression. How not to fall into depression? Her children are all alone in the world, surrounded by danger!

“I feel neither good, nor bad. I feel nothing. My only son and husband lie motionless in the cold earth of the cemetery… and here I am within these four walls,” whispers Grandma Lamara barely audibly, wiping her dry eyes. Not a single tear has been left in 17 years – she’s cried it all out. She cries, crying from within, shrouded in darkness. She wants to die, to be near those she has lost, but death seems to avoid her, and condemns her to endless torment.

Mariam is sick with all the diseases of the world! There isn’t a single healthy spot on the small, tormented body of this unfortunate child! She was born with multiple diseases: everything hurts the girl! Her liver was located in the intestine, she has multiple heart defects, an open arterial duct, urinary tract infection, pneumonia, multiple rib fractures… She spent 6 months in the intensive care unit. She fought for her life, battled with death, and survived. Her mother was told that the girl is under God’s protection because children like her usually never survive.

If you want to curse a man, just tell him: “I wish your children were sick. And that’s it – he’ll be the most miserable person on the planet. “I don’t know how I find the strength to live, how I manage not to go crazy.” I think God gives strength to mothers who have sick children. I have two sons and both are sick. Gabriel, 5, and Lasha-Giorgi, 18-month-old. Gabriel has cerebral palsy – he can’t move or do anything on his own. Every month we lie in the hospital or in a rehabilitation center, and Lasha-Giorgi, a martyr, has been in an intensive care unit since birth, hooked up to machines. I haven’t even taken him in my arms, haven’t hugged him. He probably thinks he doesn’t have a mother.”

Jilda: I was so afraid of this – I didn’t want to believe … They said that Luka’s condition would worsen over the years, but I believed in a miracle! I thought – what if everything would go differently for Luka, not like the others? I thought, what if the monster that lives in his head would stop developing and leave my son alone? But he started having headaches and seizures recently.

“There is such a Georgian proverb where one dead person asks the second to bring him to the grave – this is about me and my wife,” Akaki says and looks sadly at Dali. They cut off her leg due to diabetes, she is blind and feels unwell, and Akaki had an open heart surgery – bypass surgery after a heart attack, and his leg is broken. They operated on his leg two times, but his bone has not healed yet. They did not take the risk to operate on for the third time – they said his heart could not stand it. He barely hobbles on crutches, and his wife moves on a wheelchair, but she doesn’t even know where she can roll – she doesn’t see anything. They have no one but each other, and it’s hard to say which one of them suffers more.

When there is no money even to buy bread, Iuza takes the most valuable thing he has – The Order of Honor – and looks at it with annoyance. What if you sell it? For how many days there will be money to buy bread or medications? But people like Iuza don’t sell the honor. “There are things, that are not for sale. And since they are not for sale, then they are no longer things – but the meaning of life,” – says Iuza.

Otar: If she dies – I will follow her; if I die – she will not be able to live even a single day without me. That’s it. We barely live out our days, we keep each other afloat. I’d love to die, but I can’t leave her alone – so, I endure pain and all the suffering. I promised her 40 years ago that I would be with her in sorrow and joy, I would cherish her. And I keep my word.

For Keti, Mate, Anastasia and 2-year-old Mariam, their dearest mother is their grandmother. Grandma is the most beloved person in the whole universe. “I would give my life so that the children were raised by their mother. Children need mother’s warmth. But what to do – they are afraid even to remember her, they follow me like chicks, when one of them hugs me, the rest run up to me too. Baby Mariam is in my arms all the time. The worst thing is – when a person is alive, but he does not exist anymore,” the grandmother of the children – Ketino – says, holding back her tears.

Nino calls this place “the palace”. When you have nowhere to go with your two-year-old son, a roof over your head is both a home and a fortress for you. No matter if this place is completely unsuitable for living. Nino, as if in a nightmare, recalls how she left home with a baby in her arms and lived in a shelter for victims of domestic violence for one year: “Not everyone gets the kind of family he dreams about. Dreams eventually cease to visit you, when you have only one thought in your head – how to feed your child.”
