How are you living the quarantine: fears and dreams?

I’m still working from home and this helps me to have still a daily routine. Before the covid19 pandemic, I was already facing the most complicated time of my life, the loss of one of the people that I loved the most. I was avoiding the pain, hiding from it, but I have to say that this is impossible. After a few months of pushing myself to have a “normal” life and feeling nothing, I’ve understood that I had to go through it! This is how I’m using my extra time, trying to understand and accept my feelings. I really hope that all the people that are losing their loved ones during these months, will find a way to handle grief. It must be difficult doing it now when the whole world is facing difficult times, but they have to be strong and give the right importance to their own personal tragedy. My biggest fear is to be far away from the people I love and that could need help. Thinking of all the people dying alone in hospitals makes me very sad.

What is your soundtrack?

I don’t really have a soundtrack right now, but a song that reminds me good times is “Dancing On My Own” - Robyn.
