I currently have seven therapy clients. Only seven, and yet two of them have lost family members to COVID. This country has not even attempted to wrap its brain around the extent of the trauma COVID has caused.
@DrPsyBuffy I have a patient who has lost 11 family members (cousins, uncles, brothers, sisters, nephews, nieces) to premature death since COVID started, the oldest they said was 45yo.
Entire geneaological trees erased.
Hes not white.
Absolutely unjust, abhorrent genocidal social policy being mainstreamed right now.
@ahimsa_pdx@hannu_ikonen Totally agree. Everyone keeps talking about the "new normal," and I just wanna shake them sometimes because my life will never ever ever be the same again. I'll never get another normal, well, this side of Heaven anyway. Just gotta make the best of what's left of this life and there's still a lot of good, but goodness I miss my mom, every day, and some days my heart just aches so badly I swear it's gonna break from my chest. Somehow though, it remains in place.
@hannu_ikonen It’s beyond comprehension how people can call view COVID as no big deal. One of my clients lost her stepbrother and stepfather within days of each other.
@DrPsyBuffy And the trauma of our families pretending Covid doesn’t exist, and abandoning us. Plus the trauma of sitting here watching them get sicker and sicker.
