Dear Long-Hauling Friends, I couldn’t let the holiday season pass without saying ‘hello.’ So . . . hello! How are you? I mean that question for real. If you’re up for commenting or replying with an update, I’d love to read it. The holidays can be hard. Winter is hard. I know some of you feel like you’ve lived in perpetual winter ever since getting sick. We all know that I can’t fix that or make things warm and fuzzy. But I want to acknowledge the reality of the cold and dark. Hang in there. Please hang in there.
Dear Lisa, I'm so happy to read you again and to know I will continue to do so whenever inspiration comes to you! And I'm also deeply happy to learn you're continuing your recovery and are back on running! Wow! I haven't done such advancements and I'm right now in a dip, but I'm feeling more and more confident that recovery is possible even if it takes a lot of time. I'm still pretty young and I realized I don't want my life back, I want to build a new life with the person I am now, at least for me it sounds exciting! Wishing you tons of health and happiness for the new year we're about to start. Looking forward to reading you again :)
Hi Lisa, thank you for this “spot on” message. It seems we are in the same space. M husband still refers to “my illness” when he gives the hundredth excuse about why we can’t visit or do this or that. He has been amazing and supportive and he understands long Covid and I love him for that. I have asked him recently not to refer to “my illness” but rather to say “she lives with some long Covid pain for now”.
So good to hear from you Lisa! It brings me such joy to hear of your recovery. I am looking forward to reading your sit spot and I believe it will inspire me to do the same! Thank you for sharing and may you and your family have a wonderful holiday!
Been a very difficult month. Tried to spread comfort and joy to others and came up against my own challenges and limitations. Down tonight, but blessed and know that tomorrow will be filled with love. I am lucky. I will go on.
