最悲傷的再見 夫婦結婚62年被迫分開

An elderly Canadian couple who have been married for 62 years have been forced to live in separate care homes.

一對結婚62年的加拿大老夫妻，近日被強迫住在不同的養老院。

A photo of Wolfram Gottschalk, 83, and his wife, Anita, 81, went viral after their granddaughter shared their story.

在他們的孫女分享了兩人的故事之後，83歲的沃爾弗拉姆·戈特沙爾克和他81歲的妻子安妮塔的一張照片在網上走紅。

Ashley Baryik, 29 said her grandparents have been separated because there is no room for both of them at the same home in Surrey, British Columbia.

29歲的阿什利·巴里克表示，由於不列顛哥倫比亞省薩里郡養老院的房間不夠，她的爺爺奶奶已經被分開了。

Mr Gottschalk, who has been diagnosed with lymphoma, is on a waiting list to move into the same home as his wife.

戈特沙爾克被診斷爲淋巴瘤，目前正在排隊等待搬到妻子所在的療養院。

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Ms Ashley posted a touching image of her "Omi and Opi" wiping away tears as they held hands, adding that it was "the saddest photo I have ever taken." The image has been shared more than 6,000 times online.

星期二，阿什利在臉書上分享了一張爺爺奶奶二人感人的圖片，他們正手拉着手抹眼淚，她爲圖片配文：“這是我所拍過的最爲悲傷的照片”。這張照片已經被轉發了6000多次。

"It's heartbreaking for my grandmother, she wants to bring her husband home every night," Ms Ashley told the BBC.

阿什利在接受BBC採訪時表示：“奶奶的心都碎了。每一天她都夢想爺爺能搬來和她一起住。”

The couple, who have lived apart for eight months, cry every time they are able to see each other, she added. "It's been emotionally draining for both of them."

她補充說道，爺爺奶奶已分開8個月了，每次只要有機會見上面，兩人都淚流滿面。“兩人都失去了情感寄託。”

Ms Ashley said she appealed for help on Facebook after Mr Gottschalk was diagnosed with lymphoma earlier this week, bringing a new sense of urgency to reunite the couple.

阿什利表示，爺爺在本週早些時候被診斷爲淋巴瘤，這就使得兩人的團聚更是迫在眉睫，所以她纔將此事發布在臉書上以尋求幫助。

The outpouring of support, Ms Ashley said, has been overwhelming, but the family refuses to take donations in order to keep the focus on Canada's senior care system.

阿什利表示，現在各方的支持洶涌而來，但家人拒絕接受捐贈，只想將焦點集中在加拿大老人的醫療護理上。

"We want everyone's focus to be on fixing the system rather than raising money and putting a band-aid on the issue."

“我們希望每個人都能關注在醫療系統的改善上，而不是籌錢，將這個問題貼上一個創可貼就了事。”
