We must work together to keep those affected by this amnesia safe until this passes. Given our past experiences we can only hope this will be brief. That said, this is a message to those close to the people affected.

I know from experience that having someone you cared about, someone you have a history with, fail to recognize you, can be difficult. Some of the people with no memories may react with fear of the unknown as well, perhaps express some rejection. This is no way reflects who they truly are and how they feel about you. Being somewhere unfamiliar, with no memories of who you are, is an overwhelming feeling and people react to it differently. Some may be more relaxed and open to help, others may be less willing.

The best we can do right now is offer support to our friends and help them remember. But the same goes towards those unaffected. If you feel stressed out, anxious and rejected, it's alright to feel that way. You are in no way letting your friends down. Do not hesitate to ask for help. It is not a sign for weakness. As much as we want to, we cannot solve everything alone. If anyone would like to volunteer to help out those more directly connected, you can do so as well.

While I am far from an expert, I am not unfamiliar with living with missing memories. Feel free to ask me anything and I'll try to respond as best as I can.
