Post-traumatic growth: a dark tunnel with a light at the end

I’ve been thinking about that phrase, “The light at the end of the tunnel.” At this stage of the pandemic, I can still see the light, but it feels like this damn tunnel keeps getting longer and longer.

I’m experiencing grief during this pandemic, as well as survivor’s guilt. Does that ring true for you?

I’ve never had a day when I couldn’t get out of bed. Yesterday, I wondered if it would be the first.

Today, I needed a distraction. My emotions are so close to the surface, I can’t even watch or read happy and uplifting stories without crying because they remind me how much is at stake

My self-care is giving to others. What about you?
