- Concerns about retirement in Jamaica, discussing the unlive of a most recent returning resident back to Jamaica, retired nurse, Luris or Loris Murray from Pyramid Heights in Ochi Rios St Ann. Disturbing to say the least.
Deportation “National Emergency” declared in USA, by President Trump. Many are being deported back to Jamaica, (undocumented) after they are taken into custody in America. Will this action add to the on going crime issue here on the this lovely, most beautiful island of Jamaica, yes it is an immediate concern to many of us. Especially those of us who would love to retire here. Carve out our little piece and achieve PEACE !! While living through our retirement years. Just a discussion, it may put us in a quandary. Yes!! Blessings! Thanks for watching! Till next time …”Golden Grace” Love you all my Lovelies😘🇯🇲
Ever since I heard about the killing of the retired nurse and even other returning residents in Jamaica I start feeling so depressed and sad it’s so heartbreaking and depressing to know that Jamaica is your home and after so many years of hard work and sacrifices abroad you are not safe to come back and just relax and enjoy life all because of envy and greed
So TRUE!! So SAD!!🥲🇯🇲 Thank you for your comment Juliet😘
Sister I am 58 years old and have been in Canada 🇨🇦 since 2000! My heart resides in Jamaica 🇯🇲 yet I know I will never return. I live in a small town where it doesn’t matter if I lock my door it is priceless ❤. I face the challenges of being a minority but it is the price I am willing to pay for feeling safe and secure.
The Jamaica 🇯🇲 I love & remember no longer exists & I accept that.
Wow!! So SORRY!! 😢 I do understand you wholeheartedly! 😘🇯🇲
New subscriber here, I am Jamaican living abroad, this is a great conversation, and it is sad...
😘 Thank you for your comments!!🇯🇲 It’s something else, being in Jamaica and hearing this news, so SAD🥲
I migrated at 13 yrs old to live with my mom. I would visit Jamaica every two years and as I’ve gotten older, I’ve become more fearful. I truly can’t imagine going back to live full time because of the crime and the poor conditions of the hospitals. It’s very heartbreaking to know that this is now our Jamaica. Reconsider, follow your heart, but let your head be your guide. Blessings!
😘 Thank you for your insightful thoughts …
So glad that you are echoing the voice of concern that so many Jamaicans aboard are having. Wanting to return but fear that they might be walking into the lions den instead of paradise. These are sad and desperate times, but we must do better as a people. People are tired and cold and want to go home!
So TRUE!! Thanks for commenting 🙏🏾😘
I am so sad about that this story. I pray God will comfort the family and may HE give them peace and strength as they deal with this horrible tragedy.
I pray God’s continued protection for you too. We are living in a world where danger is lurking everywhere, but God is still in control. Cry out to HIM and HE will answer. Stay safe, God bless you 🙏🏾
Thank you Marcia, for your comment and encouragement 😘🇯🇲
My sister I share your sentiments I’m a returning resident I’ve been here for the past 5yrs and I’m always ever so cautious because the struggle with crime and violence here is real.
😘🇯🇲 YES!! Bless you Ingrid🙏🏾
The Jamaica you left ten, twenty, thirty years and more ago, IS NOT the same Jamaica that you will go back to. Stay where you are, and if needs be, just go visit every now and then.
😘
A dat me sey too I'm afraid too
Exactly make it work where ever you are and lots of other more peaceful places in the “ world” Caribbean who will take US or Canadian citizens if you tired of the Cold other warm places exist and if you desire bush bird or farming nuff nuff nufffffffff land de a US & Canada untouched land cheap cheap and more developed too nuff people have dem chicks animals etc just like Jamaica,your life is not worth a dream that no longer exists in the insanity going on there right now.
ABSOLUTELY COULD NOT have said this better!!!!!!!!!!!!!👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🤔
@@level11ethur84we are not accepted here though, we are like nobody in foriegn, them don't like us
The peace of God will pass all understanding.
I am away for 27 years and want to go back home to enjoy what I know Jamaica has to offer. Every time I watch the news it gives me chills.
My prayer for you and others 🙏 to keep safe hearing how much you love being in Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤.
Just keep the faith. Have a blessed retirement.
😘 Thank you, Shirley! 😘🇯🇲
😘
My sister,
You touched the depth of my soul. Well spoken and filled with uncertainty, but remember God leads the way. Prayers help. Just take the time to listen to His voice and follow His foot prints 🙏🏿✝️🧎🏿♀️🇯🇲🇺🇸🇺🇸”The Lord is our Shepherd…” We are only Pilgrims🌹🌹
Thank you, REN! 😘🇯🇲
God lives life and so He is the only one who has the right to take it....yes we are pilgrims but sin is the cause of all this....never God's will for anyone to be murdered.
I agree with all that has been said my heart bleeds and pain within me to know that our fellow Jamaican can be so heartless and cold. Never in my wildest dreams I would think Jamaica would become so dangerous.
I'm not from Jamaica, but I visited several times. Yes, it's a beautiful country indeed. I love the food and the people were friendly towards me. Pray 🙏 about it and ask God to steer you in the right direction. I pray 🙏 for your safety.
😘
I'm so sorry she had to go in such a heartless manner, my condolences to her family. I saw ur emotion, hold strong & keep z faith. I'm looking forward to my return, i LOVE Jamaica 🇯🇲 that's my happy place! We have to b very careful of our surroundings & try not to live alone. B apart of a community b it church r a social group, all is not loss we still have very good people living in Jamaica. I suggest ur install some cameras & arm urself with something that u can use in ur defense. Cruel world! Hold strong my sister
Thank you, for your words of encouragement and your steadfast love toward Jamaica! I do love her too❤️🇯🇲😘
Poverty is no excuse for murder.....
TRUTH!!👏🏽😘
If my mom was alive she could never live alone with the wickedness that is happening.
This Story is so sad! Prayers in Abundance for her Family 🙏🏽
I love Jamaica & their Culture 🇯🇲 ❤ & want to go back some day. Please be sure of your decision 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I know!!🤔😘
I understand your grief. I can see how this has affected you. but as a jamaican, there is a lot to consider. Before returning back to jamaica, your safety is top of the list
wishing you all the best lady i feel you keep praying God is still in control
😘 Thank you, so much!!
The government has a lot to do with the problem of excessive violence in Jamaica. It's by design the Culture has to change Jamaica is a Fabulous island but the badmind element are destroying everything that's why people of Jamaican heritage think twice b4 retirement in Jamaica. This is a very sad video feel your pain😢
Golden Grace is Shining. Congratulation on your channel. I admire that you want to return home to live. You could you just have yo know where you want to live. Everywhere in the world has crime, you just has to be wise. Please dont tell people what you have from what you dont have. And be very careful when you talk to people on the phone. I am do sorry to hear about the lady's death it a pity she was not descreet with her money that she withdrew from the bank. You cannot even trust your own family much less strangers.You have to be wise, to know who you let in your house. And when doing businese with people fo payment plan, and dont tell them your profession. They wiil target you. I have relative who has lived abroad for 55yrs, some for over 40 yrs, and they return and are living good. You have to live simple and be wise. People what you and target you. My friends from Antigua, St.Vincent & the Grenadines, Barbados and Guyana has the same problems too. You have to use eisdom. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth is life. Silence is golden. Keep Up The Hood Work. Blessings.
Thank you for your lengthy response! I didn’t hear anything about money and bank transactions, is that a part of her story too? Why she got targeted?? Tell me, I didn’t hear that she went to bank and removed a portion of money ?? 💰
Year ago in the parishes ofJamaica there wasn't any crime or crimes at all because the people in those areas they would watched their community. So if the areas are not fully developed they would need to implement changes... So sometimes that's a factor too. My condolences to the family and friends of the person who died... Rip!
Yes! Sonia thank you!! Things have changed and so have people hearts! They have become COLD as scripture said they would, and scripture can’t lie! 😘🙏🏾
This is incredibly sad and tragic and I can see how this makes you feel about your own decision about perhaps retiring in Jamaica.
Like you said, it’s such a beautiful country with many kind and loving people, but also the incredibly high crime rate with so many people that lost the respect of others lives. It’s painful to see. I was asking my Jamaican friend about the situation and he said he cannot see it coming to an end… That saddened me even more, that even the kind hearted Jamaicans living in the midst of all this don’t have hope for their own country. It breaks my heart that the situation is so utterly horrific. I pray for change. We cannot let the darkness win. I refuse to believe that this negativity cannot be turned around. Jamaica needs a brutal change to the core and it’s not going to happen overnight since it goes deep but I hope there’s enough love in the world to eventually shift things into a peaceful environment, in Jamaica and in every corner of this beautiful planet.
So SWEETLY written and well said!! Thank you for your comment my Dear, Mo-Mo!! Love you!! 😘🎉🙏🏾🇯🇲
Good morning golden grace. I am here listening to you diligently and I understand everything what you are saying but we have pray and leave everything in God's hand.i here about the lady also and I was so sad she is such a lovely lady,you take care and have a God bless day
Thanks Bev!! 😘
The story of the retired nurse who was made unalive really touched me to the core. I guess as nurses we are deeply hurt when other nurses are hurt. I have been contemplating coming back home when I retire, but that idea is growing dim.
I am so sorry that you are faced with this Delma and it hard to think about retired in Jamaica is scary but you have to pray about it And ask God for his guidance and proction
😘🙏🏾
Hey Golden Grace Happy Belated Birthday hoping you had a blast ,I see your concerns about retiring back home,I know it's mind boggling it's something you have to pray about and ask God to help you make the right decision,and when that's done and you go you make you you are aware of your surroundings not all cases are the same and sometimes the motives are different.tske care be blessed.
Thank you Glender😘🇯🇲
I was in Jamaica last year and there is a Devon House in St Ann not too far from where that lady got murdered ! I had rented a car , I was with my cousin , we went into Devon House and after we place our order , this guy walk in and he had a mask covering his whole face the only thing you could see were his eyes , I did not feel safe so I told my cousin to let’s go back into the car and eat the ice cream ! As soon as we were about to get back into the car 2 more young men walked in looking suspicious ! There is a small plaza on the other side from Devon House with KFC and it was very busy so we drove over there with the intention of sitting in the car and eat our ice cream , when the 2 last guys followed us over into the parking lot and coincidentally a cop veh. pull up right beside us and they took off , I was so glad to see those cops, never said nothing to them but there present was enough to make us felt safe !! I was enjoying Jamaica , I felt save even in Kingston until that moment ! Hmm 🤔
Wow!! I understand you!! Wow, “Jamaica!” You guys were Targeted!! Thank God for the police presence 👏🏽😘
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. A dilemma indeed! I guess it's so very hard to arrive at the right decision for you, especially as Jamaica is where your heart has remianed. It is a very beautiful country. I have a whole heap of family there. Times have certainly changed along with peoples attitudes and blatant negative behaviour and disrespect towards other human beings. For that lady to decide to live out the rest of her life in JA and have a few ignorant individuals steal that from her is truly despicable and the law should deal with them accordingly. People work hard in the states, the UK, all over, and deciding to return home cannot cause people to target them being fueled by greed and selfish determination. They have no clue how and what we endure over in different countries, a lot of the time living with racism, etc just to be harrassed or worse. Anyway, I hope you manage to reach your decision and whatever you decide to do I hope you have the best of everything in life. God bless you.
I find my first thought on a situation is usually the right one, so whatever your thought is on this matter is probably the right one! Have you consider other islands? I have been viewing a number of videos on countries around the world and there are some safe places! Go with your gut feeling!
I agree. Do your research on the Bahamas. A lovely island to consider.
😘 Thank you!! 🙏🏾
Your post resonates with me. I too have wanted to return for several years but I am very scared. The stories are horrific and fear inducing. I'm not sure I have the answer but I know I have to stop being afraid and make the move. Maybe we will find protection in numbers.
Oh GOD! Maybe!! Blessings to you, too!! 😘🇯🇲
Sis. I feel your pain. Sending you much love
You be well sister my heart breaks hearing your thoughts shared with tears in your eyes 💔 hope you will choose to follow your mind and not your heart go somewhere else live out your life do not cheapen it by staying in 🇯🇲 where some heartless monster who looks something like us can snuff the Life out of you Be well 💔 🥹❤️
Thank you!! I know !! 😘🇯🇲 Thanks for you comment and words of encouragement ❤️
It Is discouraging hearing about the crimes happening in Jamaica and elsewhere, especially in the Caribbean. I'm not from Jamaica, but I love it from the few times I've visited. We must put our trust in the Most High.
@@roslyn4yahwatson211 😘
I believe Jamaica is not safe for retirement friends went back of mine and they were both murdered in 2018 no one has ever been convicted of there murders they had there money stolen from them before they was murdered by someone they gave work too I don't believe it to be safe they were such beautiful people helped everyone in the parish they lived in and they did that to them they were beaten burnt stabbed and shot over kill I would call it both in their seventies defenceless and such a beautiful couple it still saddens me to this day r.i.p
This makes my heart drop. This is beyond disturbing. What is there to gain from killing her? Her assets are in her name? They have nothing to gain but petty cash on hand. Woman returning needs support. There is no reason to the violence.
I know, just too much!! And it keeps recurring, these stories! 🥲🇯🇲
Peace and blessings....
such a sad story and as you stated, it's not the first time. I love Jamaica too....the people the food the atmosphere, the country. BUT it is definitely gut wrenching to think that you have to considered whether or not you can actually move to Jamaica just to have a lickle piece of that paradise to try and get some peace from 'merica' ("America")
lawd have mercy
Yes!! Thank you for your comment and response 😘🇯🇲
@cts-video: I am not Jamaican & I love the Country, Food & Culture. I get my Slice of Jamaica here in America thru the: Music, Events, Food & Friends that are Jamaican. I even know a "lickle" Patwa 😊 & Learned how to Cook Jamaican Food & I'm Pretty Good at it👍🏽 Bless-up 🇯🇲
I am so sorry that happened to her. As for you. Pray about what you should do and trust that .
😘🇯🇲
I defenatley will return home to jamaica after I retired .
I can feel the pain in your voice.
Yes!! Very disturbing!!🥲🇯🇲
Golden Grace, I understand your concern. Follow that voice whispering inside. It is your spirit of discernment. Do your research on the Housing Costs for the particular area you are considering in the States. Housing costs are soaring in certain locations. As a Senior your "safety" and "housing affordability" are of prime concern. There are no utopias in this world, but as a Senior one must use wisdom, under these circumstances, for survival and your peace of mind. As Nike says, Just Do It!
Thanks for your advice! 😘
Oh, God bless you. I feel yr heart. So terrible what happened. Two words. Don't Come. Love you from Jamaica. Tugs at my heart. Crying too. Jamaica Jamaica 🎉🎉. . What's going on????
I’m planning to return and it’s a real concern as a single person. I think we need to understand where we are. I’m very open and engaging. I was on vacation in Montego Bay and staying at a local place.
The attendant behind the desk in response to my behavior said I had a trust problem. Looking perplexed she said you can’t trust us. You need to be careful. I left her my credit card while I responding to something else.
My uncle told me I need to understand the culture and move
The lesson I see is never to have deliveries alone when you’re not familiar.
This people work for a reputable company?
But we can’t move like we’re in foreign especially if we have bling. Stuff people want.
This is very sad because my family refused to looked at Jamaica because we had family that moved back in the 70s and someone was killed
It was a contract. But I’ve always missed Jamaica and for I’ve decided l will take the risk because I’ve never had peace anywhere else
I understand. You need to make the best choice for you.
Wow!! 😘
I’d like to add that we take security seriously in the USA. I just bought a house and before I could settle ADP was scaring me a single woman that I needed their comprehensive monitoring. Personally I was not feeling unsafe in the suburbs of Baltimore but to listen them tell it I could have an invasion.
So I have a security system for the first time in my life.
I have a 12lb dachshund mix who is vicious
I will always have a dog or a couple plus implement appropriate security.
All the best
@ 😘
2 incidents I personally know of is a friend returning to Jamaica and was followed from the airport and attacked. Secondly is that my stepdad and his new wife retired to Jamaica. Dad lost his hearing and was going blind. Robbers broke into their home and demanded all monies/valuables and threatened to kill their autistic son if they didn't comply. I left Jamaica at the age of 10 and I am now 62. I am so afraid of even visiting even though my bio mom and dad own properties there. Pray for the lost souls.
😘🙏🏾Wow! So much going on, there in our little SWEET, Jamaica 🇯🇲
People have retired and living in Jamaica but even 1 murder of a retiree is disturbing . I know lots of person go for 6 months back n forth I believe in gated community even though it’s not a total deterrent. I love Jamaica was there December to January and really enjoyed my time my organic food the people Jamaica is just a vibe can’t explain
❤️🇯🇲
I understand she was living/building in a gated community
Yes crime happen every where, but this a fi we likkle Jamaica, i feel you madam!!! Love yard bad, retire now, travel all over, jus come from thailand,could live there, but still no where like yard, but me fraid!!!! Yes , love me life
Thailand is a great place to live, great food, friendly people, beautiful nature and hustling bustling cities and you feel comfortable wherever you go. Same for Vietnam. But if not for the crime, JA would be a great place to live/retire, a beautiful Island...but the risk!
A friend of mine in Ja lives in a well to do area of Kingston. His home has a 8ft fences, motorized gate , CCTV monitoring, 2 big pit bulls, and I think the only time he takes the licensed firearm off his waste is when he bathes, his wife is also legally strapped. I,m thinking : Luv yaad but can,t live like this.
Wow!! 🤯 just too much!! I certainly understand you!! Thanks for your comments and story! 🇯🇲😘
Why is it that this has to be made public ?Free world but at this point stay quiet please
I will say this Golden Grace, you are a beautiful woman, you do not look like a retired person. I have female friends age 68 and 70 living all alone. You got to know who you are socializing with and allowing in your space. Not all men would want you
for your beauty and romantic and emotional powers. Some want your money and possession. I hope if you decide to retire here in Jamaica you will have a man in your life.
By any matrix, based in my experiences ,moving to Jamaica is the worse decision you can make .The people becomes heartless and anything can happen to you at anything moment .They just broke my place in October in Trelawny and took everything .
Yes!! 👍🏽 People are not easy to TRUST! Most people are FAKE!! Thanks Franklin😘
It's very scary , I love Jamaica 🇯🇲 I was born in kingston 73 years ago, but I would not retire there...
Blessings toyou ,❤I'm in st ann ,if you do come to Jamaica ,I'm health care nurse ❤️ to meet up❤🎉😢
It’s a very sad situation ,how brutal humanity can get with each other , it makes you wonder.
So TRUE!! So TRUE!! It boggles the mind!! 🤯😵💫 I know!!
God have mercy on us, that’s what my husband and I just talking about, he wants to go back to live, it’s too fearful to go back to live. Jesus help us
I know, so sad, and with all the deportees set to be sent back too!! You just don’t know!! 😘🇯🇲
@@GoldenGraceisSHINNINGthere's a real possibility that whatever perils and woes existing in Jamaica, us Jamaicans may soon have to return home .The USA is in trouble and turmoil and the trajectory don't look good. I've advised my neighbors to arm themselves and have non perishable food items as well as water to sustain themselves. I'm not paranoid nor insane but this is a real possibility. In this time February 2025 , many hopes are dashed. I'd advise returning residents to implore the FLA to grant them firearm license to qualified returning residents. Those Jamaicans involved in these crimes are disconnected from culture and morality . As a matter of fact, I've devised a theory that anyone born on the island after 1975 is not a real Jamaican. Be not discouraged because should the worst happen in the USA , tourism will dry up but at least in Jamaica the ability to feed oneself is 100%more feasible than living in the cities of the US. Do not discount me as a madman and to just give you a gist and breadcrumbs to research , only 4 cents of every US dollar is valid . The greatest depression is about to hit . Right now there are lies circulating about bird flu ...truth is there are no more illegal immigrants around to harvest eggs and pluck chickens...not to mention picking fruits . In a few months things will get ridiculously expensive drowning out the poor but the rich will survive . It's real my lady ..God Bless .
This is so sad 😞 😢😢 this story breaks my heart to hear 💔. It's like some people don't value life. I hope they caught the person who killed her. I worry about the good people in Jamaica. So many criminals are coming back there to live.
I wonder what's going to happen now that they were deported. Where will some of them live or even find jobs.
Please take care and be safe in Jamaica. God bless!🙏😍🙏
Thank you, for your comment😘🎉
They did catch them all three, because she had video cameras set up!! But so what!! She is gone! 🥲😫
That is so sad and when I saw a picture of her on the beach it broke my heart and bought tears to my eyes ! I can just imagine how hard that lady worked to build her dream house and after all those years her dreams finally came through ! They said 3 men so not one could have said to the others no that’s not right ! I constantly watching Jamaican news for update, if anyone got apprehended and so far no one have been apprehended , that is so sad but I heard that a year ago they also murdered a retired man in the same area and that crime have not been solved ! Hmm 🤔
Yes, they did! In the same area!! And yes the apprehended them all three, “Long run, short catch!” They did really run long though. They ditched the car or cars and they catch them. So SAD🥲
@ OMG 😳 I am so glad that they got caught ! Even though it cannot bring her back but at least the family can get some justice ! What I have also notice, even though you might have good intention , do not be too kind even with your own families because they interpreted it that you are wealthy , just used your intuition and how you give ! Are so many people heart so cold , that none out the three , could have said No let’s not do it , it’s not right are even see their mother in the woman and leave her alone ! Job well done JCF 👏🏿 ! People , people it doesn’t matter where you all go in this world , always be aware of your surroundings! ! That is so sad ! 😢
Miss Denese these things happen all the time, but what can you do, these hud lump have no mercy, but whatever your mind tell you to do go a head and do it,but don’t live in fare, God bless you.
😘
Great conversation ..new sub here❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, for subscribing!! You’re welcome here! Bless you! Thanks for watching too😘🇯🇲
Dear Grace, I am still upset about this case. I am tired of crying and sending out condolences. We don't need to have a P. H. D. in Criminality to see what this is. This has been happening to Returnees. Even in so-called gated communities. People have to think long and hard before taking the leap of faith to retire in Jamaica. ❤🙏
@@Margaretsmith2089-v4b well said.
Well said!! Thanks so much!! So TRUE!! 😘
Beautiful thoughts
😘
Which I could give you a million likes. Everything you said is so very true.
Thank you for your comment!! 😘Sheila! ❤️
God save her 😢❤ hi hope u are well
I do understand what you are saying....and it is sad .some of them that live away from Jamaica don't want to work. Even if they get back to Jamaica they can work, but they don't want to. They want to take want you have....where is the Government where is he????
@@pamwalker5598 😘🇯🇲 Thank you for your comments!! True!!
There is no safe place on planet earth. We just don’t hear everything about other countries. As retirees we just have to hold a low profile. My heart goes out to all these victims. Most Jamaican female returnees are nurses’ so these tragedies hits home. It’s concerning. I’m staying and praying that things will get better. Be safe Grace.
Thank you, Hyacinth😘🙏🏾
Yes! So sad why what happened to the love we have for mankind!❤
😘🇯🇲
The money left behind
I saw a post that said they need to open an account on the island and have the money wired from the states❤
Hope this helps 😊
@@hibiscus328 👍🏽 Okay😘🌸
If you have good relatives can stay with you to protect you and put up cameras all around your house and ask God for guidance and is holy protect don't live alone
The stats, London UK, 10 million prople 110 murders. Per year. Jamaica 3 million people over 1000 murders per year.
Yes, Stephanie!! That’s says more than enough!! Thanks for your common sense response!! 😘🎉🇯🇲
I love Jamaica but you have to be realistic. Crime is in the rise, healthcare system is compromise, and the government does not offer good economic outreach for the people of Jamaica. My aunt and uncle retired in 2020. They had Covid19 and could not get the right healthcare resulting in her death.
They also sold their home in the states and built a new home with a safe. Someone came a few weeks later and ripped out the safe. It was an inside job. When you are around people who are feeling it economically, they your compromise your safety everyday. I cannot live in stress everyday because I love Jamaica. The Jamaica that you left many years ago is not the same place now.
So TRUE, so sorry about you loosing your Auntie! 🥲 I sure hope your Uncle is hanging in there!! Yes, those that don’t have, it’s so difficult you want to help assist them and then they a plotting against you at the same time!! Wow!! 😮
You make a wrong decision, move very fast my sister, run for your life
I have no words. I am not Jamaican or of Jamaican descent, but I love your videos and hearing the excitement of you returning to Jamaica. But this is disturbing. I know you want to return for your piece and peace, but what are you to do? That nurse was only coming back home to live her piece & peace and then this happens. Was it because she came back looking wealthy? But that is her right, she worked hard for all those years. She could live the way she wanted and drive what she wanted. You seem like you blend in with the locals, living a modest life. Hoping you have your piece & peace about your decision. Stay safe
Love this bit of kind words and advice!! Thank you…”Sswan!” 😘 Yes so true I just want to achieve my piece and peace too!! It’s more than SAD!🥲🇯🇲
If you read the comments you will hear the ubiquitous "crime is everywhere". Until that mentality change this will continue. I've travelled all over the world and you don't see that happening in some countries because they would be going to chop chop square (if you know you know).
😘🎉
Plz let me know which country these kind of senseless heinous crime is not committed I'm in the USA and I know differently crime is very much out of control but we can't live in fear no matter where we live
I just hope the helper is not apart of it because there was a case a couple years back when an interracial couple from the UK build their home and retired in Jamaica , they were found brutally murdered by the helper’s son ! He was stealing from the couple he open a bar stock the bar with expensive liquor bought a fancy car and a motorcycle and the couple confronted him , wished they had call the police instead ! The mother who was the helper had to have known so as a mother didn’t she question him on where he was getting all that money , I honestly think the mother who was the helper was apart of it ! Yes crime happens every where but it’s just too frequent and law enforcement is not doing nothing that’s why it continues because they know they are going to get away with it , that’s why they continues ! Even though I did not know the lady it affected me psychologically and I can just imagine what her family is going through especially her children ! May she RIP 🙏🏿💐
@@chocolatequeen5953 i remember that case. So sad. JA is no longer for me. No thanks. I want to be able to sleep at nights not hear the door kicked in and that is the end.
Well said, thank you for your comment!! I believe I remember that story too!! Just too much, just too much!! 🙏🏾😘
I am thinking real deep do I want to come home are not? having a black book in America ment nothing right now. Yes crime is everywhere, but I want to have some peace and tranquility. When I move home.
The crime rate in Jamaica is out of hand and yes some of the return citizens it is only gonna get worse.
May God help us we can't even trust our own family anymore. 😢
Yes!! Only GOD can help us all!! 🇯🇲😘🙏🏾
There a situations that causes thing have to be vigilant 😢all the best I retire next year and I build a house in Jamaica but still not sure what to do smh
Yes!! 🤦🏽♀️ 😘🇯🇲
The lady lauris touch my heart it made me so sad. The daughter said they are finish with JA. Lots of other places to go.
True ! I heard the Daughter say the same thing! 😘
This is so sad to hear.These things happen all the time; this is not the first so think about your decision very careful but it's not a good look.
😘
Is this the only one you know about or say hear about????? This is one of many in say ten years. Sometimes it is couple. Return to enjoy a little life they have left then robbed and kill. Not necessarily deportee. Be careful. Stay where you feel safe.
OH NO!! By far this is definitely not the only person I have heard of being taken away, after retiring to JA. Are you kidding no, not all. I know of many. It’s just that this one got done reason hit me in my GUT HARD!! And I am here at the same time contemplating my own retirement!! Here in JA. She was a retired nurse, like me soon to be a retired nurse. There are a lot of things alike, so this one resonated with me, extremely !! That’s all. Thanks for your “Be careful” comment. Blessings to you too!! 😘🇯🇲
It's sad. Only God knows. Jamaica is beautiful, it's the land of my birth and I'll always visit and probably go back and live a very simple life one day.
Wish you God’s SPEED!! And His love to cover you too!! 😘🇯🇲
Pray and seek God’s guidance. There are other countries that you can explore.
Things are going to be challenging everywhere.
We are living in the end of time.
God is our only refuge.

Pray and follow the direction of the Holy Spirit my friend.

It’s a shame that returnees cannot just get together, whether in Trinidad or Jamaica, form a community that can be protected while employing locals, teaching the young ones their skills etc. many retirees, especially the women would have difficulty finding for themselves if they are alone, but I am sure it is 5hey who would be interested in teaching, Helping, educating after the long grind abroad. There is strength in numbers, but there is also a lot of possible contention if the hearts are not godly, upstanding, decent 😢
Yes!! Agreed!! Thank you for your insightful thoughts, and comments!! 😘🇯🇲
I am glad you now see what is going on out there. Ochio was a very safe place , my mother has a house there so for 25 years i was back and forth visiting with my mom. Its sad the lady should never stay around when she saw 3 men. Its sad. People don't understand you have to move carefully. The lady house was big and they felt empowered to take her out. The motive was robbery. Yes she was sexually assaulted.
Thanks for your comments Pauline 😘
I’m sure it would affect you greatly. I’m in the same boat as you. Like if you have an extra dollar more than other people in the population. They think you’re more privileged. It’s not so but this situation is vey sad. I get many threats ever so often by bloodline people. I am here by faith only that the Lord is sustaining me daily from fear and other things. Continuing praying seeking the Lord for your welfare and protection. Don’t be afraid….by what you see and hear.
U are in my prayer, fear is not from god. But the devil place your life daily in the hands of god
Thanks!! 😘
Be safe
😘🇯🇲
They target retired returnees. Not worth it.
You can send but prove that is not money laundering
They have no regard for human life,
True!! 😘🇯🇲
Come back Grace come come
SWEET of you!! Sweet Jamaica 🇯🇲 😘
Lots of rape and killing. Sad.
I'm in the same position. I want to come home but I'm afraid
Yes!! 😘
You’ll be fine place your life in God’s hands and he’ll direct your part live in faith that he will take care of you all ways follow the spirit of the Lord and you will be covered my heart goes out to the Lady who did something the plans we have tell them to no one but the Lord
😘
The helper can set you up too, you can’t trust no one, please run for your life🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾
@Heathermattar “Place your life in God’s hands”? Really? I’m sure many of the victims did just that but it did stop them from being murdered. Praying alone won’t help. Wake up!
This one is a no brainer.if you own a house sell it and move to florida. That is it.
Why FLORIDA
Totally agree. Furthermore, Floridal produces and sells all kinds of westindian food. Life would be my first priority. ❤🙏
@@sswan9689 its warm, not far from JA to visit if you wish. Other benefits that could make you feel safe and live a more relaxing life rather than feeling anxious about safety 24/7.
I wouldn’t set foot in Florida
It’s a red state
Definitely don’t buy a house there
@@sswan9689100% the weather. ☀️🌴🌊🏖️ We are the only state in the US that stays warm. Similar to Ja climate. People that are used to warm weather. Can’t take that cold lol🧊🥶
Hi sweet lady just wanted to say love your sweetness
Thank you, Karlan😘🇯🇲
I am a returning resident who came from the US a few years ago and now I am making arrangements to move back there. I will come back to Jamaica, but only to visit.
My advice to you is not to come back, visit if you wish. I am only one person and this is my opinion. Safety is not the only issue, you have to deal with so many dishonest workers, rude employees at stores and other businesses, worse at the government offices. Then there are the roads and horrible infrastructure. Like you said, beautiful island but too much of a hassle. Don’t come back permanently.
These hardware stores or business people do delivery need to vet their delivery driver. Bad mind and greed is most time the reason for these killing or robbery. My friend went to a hardware store was Rob the same night after the delivery was made.
@@sandyb9821 WOW!! Just too much!! Yes, they do need to Vet them better!! True! 🌸😘
I just dont understand why or how come the Jamaican government of this era CAN NOT find a solution to the crime problems. So many of us would like to retire and go home!! Omg!! It's sickening!! I have a funeral to attend there and I'm so freaking scared!! And I should not be!!! 😢😢 No man!! #unacceptable##
Yes, it is unacceptable, but it continues!! Don’t be scared! Stay strong and have your wits about yourself, keep a low profile too. Bless you, travel well. Condolences too💐
It's our own people's in America sending the guns and shots back. That's why the crime is so high and hard to control.
Sister, come back to what you know. Jamaica is just for visits.
❤🎉
Some. Of. Them don't have nothing coming back with to jamaica
So TRUE!! 😘🙏🏾
Just dont be too rich around poor people. Move to new kingston with all that money.
That's right, if you habitate amongst underprivileged ppl, they are gonna badmine you, & come for your things, & they don't want no evidence, so those vampires will take you out
No doubt there's a serious issue with crime in ja and trusting ppl in your everyday circle sometimes ppl get so comfortable with the beauty of the island they forget abt how dangerous it can b just like with any other major cities so we tend to put our guards down and ignore our instincts follow ur heart you can't make fear dictate your life all we can do is pray becareful limit our circles of who we associate with even though in most of these crimes the victims know the accusers beware of your surroundings cameras install and it's not wise to live by yourself in any communities ja even though ja is in the news too regular for all kinds of heinous crimes on the other hand it's like pardise on earth ppl say i would never live in bklyn or the bronx those 2 boroughs are dangerous but bklyn is my favorite i love it and NYC is one of my favorite State even with all its flaw ja is beautiful and i won't give up on her one day a change will come for the better the world is just upside-down right now evil has taken over but always remember God is in charge no matter what i won't allow fear to stop me from living my life that God has blessed me with hell no❤
Thank you for your comment!! Steadfastness about JA!! Blessings to you too😘🇯🇲
This is such a very sad case. So sad 😢 We are living deep into the time of the end of this system.. Bible prophecy foretold that human behavior will get from bad to worse...Things will get so bad, that many of us will be praying to die....
@@angelapalmer3542 Yes, men’s hearts would grow cold!! True!! 😘🇯🇲
I wouldime to go ho.e from lo ng timebut thst ki d ofcrime y i would goto a different island
It sound scary out there it scary here too but more scary in jamaicai wonder if I could try Barbados
My advice get yourself a nice piece of land and make the the paper work CORRECT keep paying the taxes keep the receipts and maybe in a few more years after The Gentrification is complete May you can build a cottage or give to your children if they want it…
@@level11ethur84 Thanks for your advice!! Good too!! 😘🇯🇲
We are still suffering from slave mentality
The brutally of slavery is still within the cultural
Yes!
You have to choose yr wellbeing and safety over all. JA people have no care for humans its a disgrace.
