I am so sorry to hear about your dad! It must be so hard, going through LC and experiencing this kind of loss!
I agree, it is an awful disease and society does not appreciate anywhere near enough what the health care workers and medics did and still do. The number of people working in the sector that we lost to Covid or LC is staggering. Moving on to business as usual once the vaccines were around was the wrong approach. It's the ignorance and lack of empathy that is hurtful in addition to suffering from the disease.

To hear people say “It’s just the flu.” is really hard for me, as I have been sick for 26 months with the “flu”! I know many of you have suffered longer than I.
The”flu” part of it wasn’t even that bad for me. I have had worse flu symptoms many times. It is what has come after that has stolen my life.

I’m still here, but I have no life. Now I only leave my house to go to doctor appointments, or maybe a short walk around the yard.
I am too dizzy to safely drive or go anywhere. My hearing is shot and my eyes are blurry.

For some people the only way they will understand is if it happens to them. Even a close family member’s suffering doesn’t convince them.
