In an earlier blog, entitled ‘The Pandemic Has Changed Us’ I wrote about the research that has been undertaken and which reaches the view that we have all changed. The pandemic could have made society more people-focused. Instead, we have become more self-focused.

Lifting restrictions has exposed the more vulnerable

Governments were responsible in bringing and keeping society together. Instead, in lifting restrictions politicians have cut off the more vulnerable groups in society and have exposed the more vulnerable. I am vulnerable. We can all change back and be more giving.

Survival: The Covid Years

In Survival: The Covid Years, I share my overwhelming physical and mental struggles within the chaos of the pandemic. In a revealing memoir, I show how I learned to cope with stress and anxiety and the on-going self-isolation through Covid, through the healing power of words, and with a steely determination to connect with the outside world.

We have all lived the drama, we have all struggled to comprehend Covid-19. Covid-19 was a difficult time for many of us. I wrote the book because I struggled. Now I offer explanations that can also help you also understand what you went through in the pandemic, so you can find an acceptance on your experiences, so that you can mentally and emotionally heal.
