The empty streets and unsettling silence created an almost eerie atmosphere. As always, it was women who bore the burden of keeping food on the table, soothing tempers, and managing the frustrations that seemed to arise from nowhere. In a time of frayed nerves and unexpected struggles, the lessons learned were hard but unforgettable.
