WORLD Christians Of Egypt hit by ISIS in PaIm Sunday bombings A PAIR OF BOMB ATTACKS AT churches in Egypt killed at least 44 people on April 9 , shattering the Christian festival 0f Palm Sunday for the country's Copts, the Middle East's largest Christian community. One bomb ripped through a church in the Nile Delta town ofTanta while a suicide bomber set offhis device at an Alexandria cathe dral where Coptic pope Tawadros II had held palm Sunday services. The attacks were quickly claimed by the lslamic State, which has become a persistent menace in Egypt since an insurgent movement in the Sinai peninsula proclaimed its allegiance in 2014. ln keeping with ISIS sectarian absolutism, the Sinai militants, wh0 in recent years had killed more than 1 , 000 soldiers and police, soon expanded their targets tO include Egypt's Christian community, which makes up about 10 % of the population. ln February dozens of Christians fled North Sinai for lsmailia on the Suez Canal, fearing for their lives following weeks of attacks. Egypt's President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi declared a new state Of emergency in response tO the bombings, but he faces accusations that his government is failing tO dO enough tO protect the Christian minority. lt's a tough charge for a leader WhO promised a return t0 security and order following a military coup in 2013. —JARED MALSIN 0 0 Egyptian Coptic Christians gather 砒 the れ er 和 r blast victims ⅲ the Nile Delta city 0fTanta, れ or 市 0fCairo, 0 れ April 9 PHOTOGRAPH BYAFP/GETTY IMAGES 0 0 >For more ofour bestphotography, visittime.com/lightbox 13

N 〇 w she wants tO help others find a way through grief By BeIinda Luscombe FOR DAVE GOLDBERG, MAY 1 , 2015 , WAS THE BEST DAY WITH the worst ending. The SurveyMonkey CEO was celebrating the 50th birthday of one of his closest buddies at a palm-fringed, $12,750-a-night villa in Punta Mita, a secluded Mexican resort favored by the Silicon Valley elite. The vacation had been んⅡ of what he loved: games with family and friends, walks and long talks by the pool. When he climbed on the fitness-center tread- mill that Friday, nothing but blue sky appeared ahead: his com- pany was doing well, his children were healthy, and he was as in love as ever with his superwoman wife Sheryl Sandberg, Face- book's C00 and the author of も ea . Then his heart gave out. Goldberg—Goldie to his friends—was only 47 when his younger brother R0b, R0b's wife and Sandberg found him lying in a halo ofblood, his skin blue. "I started doing CPR," says Rob. "I remember not being sure if I could feel a pulse or if it was really my ow れ heart pounding. ” Goldberg was rushed to San Javier Hospital, a dimly lit medical center. Sandberg and one of 町 her best friends, Marne Levine, sat on the linoleum floor waiting for a doctor tO give them the news they didn't want. ln short order—though she says it felt agonizingly slow— Sandberg, the complex-problem solver, the micromanager, the person with an almost freakish understanding OfhOW tO arrive at the best possible results, was thrust against something un- familiar: an outcome she couldn't change. "The wails ofher cry- ing in that hospital were unlike anything that l'd ever heard in my life,: ” says Phil Deutch, Levine's husband and the person whose birthday they were celebrating. "lt was an awful, awful scene. ” As they were leaving Goldberg's body for the last time, Sand- berg ran back t0 give him one more hug. "I think for Sheryl, let- ting go 0f him physically meant letting go 0f the moment that this could somehow not be real," says Rob. "I had to gently pull her off of him. She just wanted to hug him and wanted him to be there and wanted him to come back. ” Dying is not a technical glitch 0f the human operating sys- tem; it's a feature. lt's the only prediction we can make at birth that we can bank on. Everyone will die, and it's very likely somebody we love will die before we do. And yet the bereaved are Often treated like those tO whom something unnatural or PHOTOGRAPH BY PAOLA KUDACKI FORTIME

Victory is no longer a real possibility for ISIS in Mosul. The estimated 2 , 000 militants in the besieged area know that there is no escape and that, unlike the men upstairs at Abu Ali's, they are fighting t0 the death. Their weapons may remain as crude as their propaganda—car bombs, booby traps and hundreds of human shields—but the feeling is different as the end draws near. "There's a change in desperation; ” says U. S. Army Lieut. COIO- nelJames Browning, wh0 advises the 9th division of the lraqi army in the Mosul campaign. He said the lraqi soldiers on the ground have come tO consider each ISIS fighter a potential suicide attacker.
