This is a comment from a blogger friend who lives in Australia. She has MS, but normally volunteers at a Suicide Crisis Center in her city. She is a thoughtful and caring person, and I asked if I might publish this comment from her.
Sue will find other ways to help people. She is that kind of person. Even if we are at home, we can reach out to others, especially those who live alone or have recently lost loved ones.
I am hoping that our new normal is NOT the same. I hope that we
remember that getting by with less is not only possible, but better for
the environment (and our wallets). And I long for this pandemic
to be replaced with a pandemic of kindness. That said, today I am feeling
bereft. My age and my chronic illness means that I can no longer do shifts
on the crisis line - at a time when so many people are crying out
for assistance.
