I am the fiance and caregiver to a long Covid sufferer of starting four years this past April. Just reading some of these comments helps ME to an extent. What he and all others are going through is such a debilitating and life altering disease and so very sadly - most people Do NOT get it! I deal with this when I try to explain his situation ( OUR situation) to others….. even family can be so judgmental …. This is especially hurtful when what the person needs is empathy and kindness. Everybody’s situation is different and I feel him slipping away - he is a completely different person and I love him dearly .If not for his faith he would not be here.
Thank you for letting me comment.

Sadly, @karen8, it is incredibly difficult to love and care for someone who is not who they were. My spouse is being patient and I know I'm a pain because I'm in pain and just never well enough tho' I try to pretend to be.
Thank you for trusting us and for loving him and for being there. The more we support each other, the greater our strength in explaining what we know to those who choose to know too little.
