Hearing about many, many, many folks testing positive in this latest surge. Whenever I hear about another loved one testing positive for COVID, a battle ensues within me. I know that they will probably be fine, but I am also forced to recall the death of my grandmother and remember that when I was hospitalized two other people in my circle were as well — and I was the only one to come home. Feel what you feel, be gentle with yourself, be kind to others, and stay safe out there. . . . #covid #covid19 #covid_19 #coronavirus #pandemic #covidsucks #hospital #death #grief #loss #trauma #hope #compassion #kindness #kindnessmatters #gentleness #quarantine #omicron #covidlife #staysafe #surge #ba5 #wearamask #maskup #masks #wearyourmask #mask #indefenseofkindness
