I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all of us need to grieve the life we once knew by shifting into radical acceptance of our present reality.

There is no "normal" to return to and if we are honest, the pace of our former lives was abnormal.

This prolonged social distancing is not normal either, nor is it good for our mental health because we were created for human connection.

The toll on our mental health is unquantifiable at this point, but if we underestimate the collective trauma, we do so to our own peril.

We won't be the same.
Nothing will be the same.
Our lives have changed forever.

That warrants grief, lament, and tears. Weeping with you.
