How is the coronavirus pandemic affecting your life right now? Tell us about your experiences, feelings, and thoughts.

I spent a day with a friend, getting chemo for her pancreatic cancer diagnosis. Draining, and also very meaningful day. Being in a hospital in NYC surely heightened my awareness/experience of COVID. I don’t go places where I spend long amounts of time indoors. And I was inside a hospital for 8 hours. Everyone wearing masks, people dealing with serious illnesses, my friend struggling emotionally through her day... and then spent the evening with my children, feeling nurtured and so lucky to be with them. I’m moving into a new apartment in 2 weeks, and am concerned about what that may mean in terms of possible exposure. Change is hard, particularly now with so much uncertainty.
