(The option of calling friends who were still in Venezuela to get things off my chest was not an option). In order to establish any new communication, I needed my husband's help to write, read and translate what I was saying to to other people and then, in turn, translate what they were saying to me. 
(Chaguo la kuwaeleza rafiki zangu waliokuwa bado Venezuela haikuwa chaguo tena).Ili kuanzisha mazungumzo yoyote mapya, nilihitaji msaada wa mume wangu kuniandikia, kusoma na kutafsiri kile ambacho nilikuwa nawambia watu na halafu yeye akitafsiri kile walichosema.
