9/11 Stories: Liz Carvajal Lopez

[@StayChillax]

Liz , for you to leave the house and go help is heroism. You are amazing. Thank you.

[@anddyyxx]

Such a brave woman. Thank you for making the world a better place. I am so sorry for your loss. Never will we forget.

[@bobporch]

A very moving story of selflessness and service; starting on a day when goodness rose up to challenge evil. Sadly I recall when every level of government fought the fact that being at the site was causing lung disease. People like Liz responded the way they did because they felt it was the right thing to do. If only the politicians would do the same.

[@Michiganmegs]

Man I wasn't expecting to hear her husband passed. I could see how much she loved him by the way she was talking about him. I'm very sorry for your loss that's devastating.

[@cherylstaples1790]

She is so beautiful and articulate. I'm so sorry she and her friends are losing these brave, amazing people to these awful health problems.

[@balagan79985]

She is very real, very down to earth. So unfair- the incredible generosity and sacrifice. Also YES the incredible contrast between post 9/11 vs Covid. This is not something you get "over". You try to get through it. My condolences and respect to Mrs Carvajal Lopez.

[@anamiriamrodriguezcruz3824]

What a beautiful soul. Went out of her way to help and volunteer. RIP to the love of her life. I pray God speed concerning Liz's health.

[@mortenle]

This is such a different story from 9/11. I want to hear more from these volunteers--I fear for their health too after listening to so many of these accounts. But thank you all for sharing these essential stories.

[@mk202]

Liz…you’re such a beautiful and special lady. Your heart shines on anything you wish. Don’t give up on yourself by ignoring your health. Alex would never want that for you. 😉💘

[@juliamarin4896]

Thank you for sharing your 911 story, as well as your beautiful love story. I'm very sorry for your loss. I hope you're able to continue to foster hope, resiliance & love in your life.

[@survivormary1126]

Thank you so much for all of your caring and kindness. I for one will never forget.

[@MissBe737]

Thank you for being so brave and helping on 911. God bless you!

[@raquelarredondo1642]

Im so sorry for her loss! She is so real!

[@sandraq2145]

So sorry for your loss . What an amazing story of love 💖 never ever forget 9/11

[@daisy2217]

You did a great service, God Bless you ❤️. I’m very sorry for the lost of the love of your life. I pray 🙏🏼 that you are well.

[@justdynee]

The survivors are all heroes in my book, much love from the world. We all pray for all of you and your loved ones. Your health and lives are the a testament for the rest of us.

[@denisejaydub]

They need to update the numbers at how many people are lost because of this tragedy. You only ever hear 2k+ … but the number is way higher 💔

[@taffycat93]

No, they should not update the numbers. Those people who died on 9/11 are memorialized that way for a reason. 🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@carolebrunette]

@@taffycat93 I think there’s room for both. Cuz those who responded to rescue those who were trapped are sick and dying for that reason but don’t deserve that acknowledgment? Doesn’t add up.

[@danielonn2002]

Thank you for your help during one of the worst days in American histroy. God Bless you!

[@nanoir28]

Thank you Shelli for being the conduit for all of these stories. I've been listening consistently for about a week. Watched almost every documentary. I watched a woman tell her story the other day and she said it's so easy for those that weren't there to say they'll never forget but We the survivors don't have a choice. That was a very poignant moment for me. I was unaware of the amount of health issues that had climaxed in the years after. That day still claims lives. It is absolutely devastating to not only hear these stories but realize that these first responders not only have to fight mentally with what they've witnessed but with ongoing health problems which some have led to an early death. I've never been much of a patriot of this country yet I found myself extremely proud of these Americans for standing in the face of death so the rest of us can continue on with "normal lives" So brave and honored to have listened with full attention to these heroic tales. True kinsmen❤

[@kaypowell407]

I am so sorry for her loss. Beautiful, sad romance

[@excaliburjohndeere7657]

You make the world a better place. I lost the love of my life too. I live close to the Mississippi river. Close to Memphis Tennessee. Thanks for your story. Anything is possible!

[@jackkoba8053]

Please keep going for your check ups ,, please. Your husband would want your smile to live on

[@mediii8057]

Poor thing I hope she gets treated. Heart breaks suck. But she’s so young don’t let yourself go yet. Your husband wouldn’t want that for you. I know he would want you to keep pushing.

[@ThanksChris]

Gosh, how many people have died of 9/11 diseases? Absolutely awful. We won’t forget. 😢

[@happybunny8704]

You are an Angel beautiful inside and out, thank you for making us all aware of your selfless contribution God bless you but know your husband is still with you. 🙏 love from the UK…

[@bulldog8489]

A great American !

THERES A SPECIAL PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR YOU LIZ.

[@Lisa1111]

Thank you 🙏🏽♥️

[@Arodnyc72]

Nothing is normal in life , please go to a doctor

[@poji222]

I always try to put myself in others shoes & I can't even imagine what everyone has gone thru!! I have friends in NYC, but I don't think I knew anyone in the WTC's .I am from / live in Buffalo NY & remember hearing about this on the news while getting ready for work. I heard alot of 9/11 stories & just breaks my heart & I hate that this has happened! Everyone grieves differently & if you lost someone you cared about, there is nothing wrong with " not forgetting". I am so sorry for your loss ♥️🗽🦬

[@loridontcaretotellu6497]

Liz, your story is obviously still so very painful -- as are the others I've listened to and read about. It really touched me that even though you could have stayed home and observed from a safe distance, you selflessly went to help with no thought for yourself. You're a hero too my dear! I feel like I know your heart in listening to your story. You love fiercely, you are "other" focused and have had your share of pain but somehow you have maintained your beautiful spirit! Don't lose that. I am so sorry you lost your brave hero husband, Alex and I know deep down YOU know, your purpose here isn't done, he would WANT you to live and love again! I feel there is a child in your future as well. One or several, I don't know. But please please go get that biopsy done? You losing your life unnecessarily will not bring anyone back AND, it will mean that additional others will hurt missing you. Maybe it was nothing, but let them biopsy to know one way or another. I know you are doing the best you can and you are amazing !.

[@leanneadams2549]

That awful morning she said her boyfriend called her. I wonder what happened to that boyfriend? Also, thank you so much for who and what you’ve done !!!! And my heart goes out to you so much !!! ❤️

[@sashalawrence4786]

Liz the way you cope us personal and don't be pressurised into acquiring information about yourself that only you will have to live with. I get why you don't feel ready for the answer ,and want to encourage the interviewer to respect your choice even if she doesn't understand it. We must pace ourselves when encountering the possibility of trauma. I felt the interviewer's good intentions but her tone was insensitive and appeared to insert her own anxiety

[@bobporch]

Perhaps the moderator's "anxiety" as you put it, is caused by the fact that more people who were at the site have died of exposure to toxins than the number killed outright on 9/11. And more are dying every week.

[@expertbyexperienceshared9903]

@@bobporch in aware of that. However I'm unsure about why you felt the need to raise that in response to my comment

[@kaypowell407]

@@expertbyexperienceshared9903 why not?
