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

I haven't been journaling the last few weeks because unfortunately my grandmother has passed away last week.This, of course, was very hard for my family and me. It was especially hard, because even though I had my family as emotional support, I couldn't talk to my friends at all. Today was the funeral and because it is close to Christmas, I felt really sad and lonely. We have a "hard lockdown" again in Germany and I realise that I start to worry whenever I'm in a public place, like a supermarket, which I have not before. I also realised that I will probably not see my friends before February or March next year and since some of them still meet illegally I feel left out and I am scared, that I will loose some of my friends, because they take my staying away personal.
