I'm not entirely sure where this came from so cannot credit the author, but this resonated with me so I thought I would share it here.

It’s an interesting take and it makes sense. I remember reading early in the pandemic that our collective response would best be treated as grief. So many have lost so much. Even the ones than have benefitted materially are grieving a pre-pandemic world that no longer exists. 

 

I personally expect it to be a long time before I’m comfortable being in a room full of other people. I’m fully vaxxed but even being around a bunch of people at the park with my kids the other day was making me feel anxious. Of course, they’re not old enough to be vaxxed yet so that’s factor too.
