I've decided that the world needs a new word right now. Some people are calling what they are feeling "stress" and others are identifying with the word "grief"... I'm calling this out. Right now, I think our collective society is experiencing stregrief.
Articles I have read on grief and those that focus on stress are effectively saying the same thing... and I think that the ways it hits each individual is distinct to each of us. But some of the coping mechanisms may be the same for all of us: do what is right for you (be honest with yourself), don't judge how others are making it through, and don't judge yourself.

However, this stregrief is manifesting for you, I wish for you some levity, rest, and moments of nonCOVID-19 related news this weekend. Stay well.
