thank you for posting. I think that unsettled feeling of grief has evolved over the last 6 months as I realize this is a new way of life for me. Especially with so many not following precautions now and gathering in the old way. I don't feel I can do that as cancer patient that has had respiratory issues from mets. It is a dull ache that is hard to define, almost like homesickness for what was, but knowing this is my new reality.. I am trying to work outside in my yard as much as possible, just getting outside helps. and connecting socially when I can, outside with physical distancing. I think prayer/meditation is something I need to work on as well.

Fiesty76, thank you for sharing the article. I look forward to reading it. It helps to know "we"(patients) are in this together. Have a lovely Labor day.

Hi, @cco50, Thank you and I like how you describe these feelings now almost like "homesickness for what was". Beautifully descriptive and yes, we are all in this together and by supporting one another and by sharing, we can find ways to make the difficult days easier.
