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

Well, it's our second Easter at home without family. Today started out as a good day with the kids following the Easter bunny's footsteps to their Easter basket. We then had a nice brunch, although staggered (our kids are 4 and 1, so it's almost impossible to sit down for a full meal with the two of them). But then, as we were rejoicing that my mother-in-law just had her vaccine, she also admitted that she tested positive for the virus 2 weeks ago (she was cleared to get her vaccine by the health professionals). What a shock. I just don't know what to think of all this. I am glad she is ok now and had few symptoms, but I am still worried about the potential long-term effects she could potentially have. I haven't been able to process the news yet, but my head is exploding. I find it very hard mentally to go through this cycle of being hopeful with the mass vaccination, to being very worried again, it's tiring.
