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

<strong> I feel really home sick.</strong> I want to hug my mom and dad. I'm worried that something God forbid will happen and that won't ever happen again. I want to hug my grandma. I want to see my siblings and nephews. I want to see my friends. I feel cut off. And I'm unsure when the day will come that I will get to see them. I wonder if I will always be wearing a mask. <strong> I wonder if ... 'when I was young, before COVID', is how i will start stories to my children and grandchildren (if/when I have them).</strong> Will this ever feel normal? Will I always be mourning my loss?<strong> Will I always be wanting to be somewhere I am now cut off from, forever?</strong>
