Would you like to talk about it?

Pixie74 profile image
Pixie74 in reply to Activity2004

Thank you, just hate not having my children around and just that feeling of not belonging it doesn’t go away even though I’m trying to keep my mind occupied x

Activity2004 in reply to Pixie74

I understand about not having children/family around for special occasions. Do you have a way to do video chats with your children?

Pixie74 profile image
Pixie74 in reply to Activity2004

I only have phone calls from them.. it’s so hard being separated from them..

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004 in reply to Pixie74

I'm sorry to hear that. When was the last time you talked to them on the phone?

Pixie74 profile image
Pixie74 in reply to Activity2004

I’ve just had a call from my son, made me well up miss him so much and just sang happy birthday to my daughter so now I’m blubbing like a baby 😢😢

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Just got done with lunch now.

What did your son say?

Pixie74 profile image
Pixie74 in reply to Activity2004

He was seeing if I was ok how much he’s missing me and how we can’t wait to get together..

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004 in reply to Pixie74

That's good news. Do you talk to your son once a day? :-)

Pixie74 profile image
Pixie74 in reply to Activity2004

Normally he works but cos he’s on lockdown like everyone is he’s home so he will call when he’s not busy

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004 in reply to Pixie74

That's a good thing. What does he usually do for his career?

Pixie74 profile image
Pixie74 in reply to Activity2004

He’s a mechanic but they’ve closed the garage until further notice

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004 in reply to Pixie74

Is he getting unemployment for right now? Out here, everyone is expected to file for unemployment even if they are keeping their jobs.

Pixie74 profile image
Pixie74 in reply to Activity2004

At the moment they are still paying his wage but not sure for how much longer..

Activity2004 profile image
Activity2004 in reply to Pixie74

That's the same as out here in the USA. We have to see when we all can go back to work. Where I work, we've been closed until further notice since it's in a Senior Center.

Pixie74 in reply to Activity2004

It’s just an awful situation for everyone.. there will be a rise in unemployment everywhere..

Activity2004 in reply to Pixie74

That's right. It's like a wait and see type of 'game' that no one wants to do.

They look good, bet she appreciated those.😋
