COVID-19
We are all suffering: The Discomfort You’re Feeling is Grief. <—-Must read.
…we’re feeling a number of different griefs. We feel the world has changed, and it has. We know this is temporary, but it doesn’t feel that way, and we realize things will be different. Just as going to the airport is forever different from how it was before 9/11, things will change and this is the point at which they changed. The loss of normalcy; the fear of economic toll; the loss of connection. This is hitting us and we’re grieving. Collectively. We are not used to this kind of collective grief in the air.
…we’re also feeling anticipatory grief. Anticipatory grief is that feeling we get about what the future holds when we’re uncertain. Usually it centers on death. We feel it when someone gets a dire diagnosis or when we have the normal thought that we’ll lose a parent someday. Anticipatory grief is also more broadly imagined futures. There is a storm coming. There’s something bad out there. With a virus, this kind of grief is so confusing for people. Our primitive mind knows something bad is happening, but you can’t see it. This breaks our sense of safety. We’re feeling that loss of safety. I don’t think we’ve collectively lost our sense of general safety like this. Individually or as smaller groups, people have felt this. But all together, this is new. We are grieving on a micro and a macro level.
find balance in the things you’re thinking
come into the present
let go of what you can’t control
stock up on compassion
Hey, remember when we had just 15 cases and were going down to zero? We are on track to have most cases in the world! Another must read: How the Pandemic Will End?
As a Gen X dude, this article made me feel better about myself: Coronavirus quarantine? Gen X was made for this. Boomers and Gen Z, not so much.
We are not only suffering but we are all going crazy too at home. But lets stick with it a little longer you guys okay? How we know ending social distancing will lead to more deaths, in one chart.
I am always trying to educate. Everything you need to know about having sex while social distancing. I guess kissing and group sex parties are out you guys lol.
Awesome video of a deserted San Francisco under quarantine.
