I find there are days I can cope and days like today which makes me think to much
I have found this site to be supportive and understanding and many readers offer useful insight
When I watch the news and see the figures it causes me great sadness to see so much loss
I reslise important to refocus regain our core meaning and purpose if life
For those of us who make it , it is for us to rewrite the script and strive to learn the value of life .
I have seen in this crisis two extremities of human nature those who share kindness and giving and those the nrighbours of my Mother who have bought food in excess and who did share anything with my Mothrt
At a time like this to be so selfish is heartbreaking for me

Hi Roukaya,
I'm so glad we are helping a bit to see you through this difficult time in your life. I agree that you can clearly see defining lines between those people who have compassion and step up to be of help, and those who fulfil their own needs at all cost.
It would be absolutely lovely to think that we could rewrite the script when the crisis passes. Well, I think that we can certainly try anyway. How much of it will become permanent change is an unknown, but I'm pretty sure that at least initially we'll be relieved enough to try to live in a more aware way.
I hope today is one of your better days and that you are coping OK.
Very best wishes and I hope you are remaining well.
Hi Roukaya, thanks for asking about my daughter. I was in touch with her by text at lunchtime, and she's faily comfortable and just treating her symptoms as best she can. She's still able to work at home and her seniors have told her to have as many naps as she can manage and that they will ease up on the number of conference calls they've needed to have until now.
It remains a mild case, and we hope that it will stay that way.
Again thanks for asking, and I hope your own day has gone well and that you are still remaining positive, despite all of your challenges. Take care.
Sorry about your Mum, as you say there are all kinds. Most people have been amazing. I don't find isolation to hard as I can't get out much anyway, find something that takes your mind of this Virous. Stay safe...
I agree makes me so cross I have to rely on my daughter for supplies when everyone was panic buying she was having to go different shops putting her life at risk. I live alone and cook and freeze anyway so I am okay now have milk and bread frozen. Toilet rolls don't know what that was all about. I think the government and so so so many people doing a fantastic job getting us through terrible time. Keep safe! x
This is very sad. It hurts us very much in our hearts when we know how selfish people can be. We can't waste to much to time thinking about the selfish people it will depress us. We have to think instead of, the people who have help us though out our lives and the acts of kindness from people around us. When all this is over, we will remember the people who have acted selfishly and they will probably feel shame for the way they have acted. Although it makes us angry we must find it in our hearts to understand why people behave this way and often it is through fear. They are frightened and act in a manner that is alien to them. If we can let our anger and frustration go, we can then move on from it and become stronger ourselves. xx
As a stated this epidemic will result in two extremities either those who continue with selfless compassion or those who think for their own security first.
I am saddened as you that in effect my Mother is an elderly lady who lives alone
This was her neighbour who lives with her Mother and Brother
When I was a small girl I was given a badge which says The Heart the Gives Gathers
Even though I seen how some have behaved, I will always try to help

I hope you stay safe and well
