2020: A Painful Year

[Sweesoft]

Many of us have lost loved ones during this pandemic. This will surely leave a permanent scar and will be seen throughout history. This has been a stressful year as a lot of the people I know have also lost their jobs and all.

How about you guys? Do you know people who have been affected by the virus?

Thanks for starting this thread.

I was affected by the bushfires but not such by the virus. I know people who have lost their business and a friends elderly parent died.

Hi Sweesoft this pandemic has effected me as I have lost two elderly uncle's in nursing homes in Victoria to covid19.This has left me with one aunty and one uncle left now after having 19 wonderful aunties and uncle'.I think this virus has effected many people one way or the other.

Hi everyone

Matchy I'm so sorry for the loss of your dear Uncles. That's heartbreaking. Hugs!

My thoughts are always with you quirky. Hugs.

I listened to my youngest daughter explain how Covid negatively affected her MH this year, compounding MH issues that were already there. It's been tough on her.

One of our dearest friends in America lost his 29yo nephew to Covid whilst his mum was already in hospital with Covid. Our friend wasn't permitted to attend the funeral, which is hard for many people who've had that happen.

The trip of a lifetime of ours was put off indefinitely, which splintered my family and the ties we had with my fiancee's family in the U.S.

The wedge between loved ones is tangible because of Covid. We feel it every day.

Hope we can get through this together.

Hi @Sweesoft, hi all!

I'm sorry to hear about all your losses caused by Coronavirus. It's really happening yet some people say it's just a plot of some kind. It seems they wouldn't believe it until it happens to them firsthand. But I'd never wish CV on anybody. I just hope people would spread more light in this time of darkness.

I myself have been affected mentally at first. I was depressed and anxious about so many things. It's a good thing I have great people to lift me up. I also made a lot of reading and all just to bring some motivation in me. Here's one of the many articles I read that helped me http://sensitivenlpcoach.com/a-motivational-reflection-during-a-pandemic-crisis/

Check it out if you have time. It's short and straight.

Keep safe people!
