HuffPost
I was so hopeful and so happy. I should’ve known it was too soon. I should’ve known it wouldn’t last.
I’m scared. No, I’m terrified. News keeps filtering through the bubble I’ve set up for myself — I cannot help it; I check social media anyway. I see that a father and son have died from COVID-19, just hours apart. I pause a Zoom writing conference because a message has come through on my phone: The prime minister has declared a state of emergency. Later that evening, I hear the news from some friends. Someone we know just died. I smile at the conference’s eager attendees, even though my hands are shaking.More Related News
