My Covid Diary

 Despite the fact that our lives are now ruled by Covid, we don't know too much about it; especially post recovery. No two people have the same symptoms, and many symptoms can linger on, even months after you test negative. This can be both scary and depressing. I started this support group, so those who've either recovered or are getting there, can help eachother with tips, suggestions and words of encouragement. We don't offer any medical advice, but we serve as that comforting shoulder to lean on, so people can heal together; both physically and emotionally.  This group is growing every day! So if you know anyone who is either Covid positive or has recovered from it, do guide them to this group, if you think it will help them!  Sometimes it is just nice knowing that you aren't alone! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1239966516381235/?ref=share

All around I heard about people meeting up with friends and going on holidays. I hadn't stepped out in 8 months, and I was sick again. It was just unfair. I wept for my children, and for all that we had been through during the last two months. Then when I felt better (after that childish display), I washed my fa...
