Off Balance

E

veryone is dealing with a different coronavirus-related situation, depending on where they live. But the common factor everywhere is the sense of being off balance:

“There are backyard camps opening up. I know my kids need to see other children again and relearn their social skills, but is it safe to send them?”

“My husband has been home with me for four months. Now that his business is opening up, he’s going to be leaving every day like he used to. I feel like I just got used to him being in my space, and I was actually enjoying having him here. Now I have to lose him again.”

“In our area, school will open up in September partially for some grades, fully for others, and not at all for others. I can’t picture my day at all. How can I continue to do my work at home when now I’ll have childcare responsibilities and carpools at irregular schedules and be neither here nor there all day?”
