Dispatches from the Pandemic – Day 10

I can’t believe that just my writing about this crisis has been going on for 10 days now. And being stuck at home was even longer. It’s so important to keep connecting with your friends and also being aware that everyone is processing this differently and thus needs different kind of reassurances. I had a great Facetime with my dear friend M today – I feel that with her I can share my deeper fears and find ways we can calm other through preparation because she gets how I’m feeling. Then with other friends I can dance or laugh or drink or talk about supporting each other ways. Read the room folks. Be sensitive your friends’ needs and ask for what you need.
