Keep the SO safe from getting Covid, Then he died. And so I am on my own, in lockdown. While I am grieving my loss. It is fucking hard. I won't lie love, I can and will do it, but my resilience is fraying round the edges, so bubble DU hugs are very much needed

DU is a wonderful way to reach out and communicate during these pandemic times.
I have only seen my mom and sister once in the last year. My son and I haven’t seen any other family members since November 2019. We’re hunkered down here in a very small house with our doggo. Take care and be well! |

Worse, though, must be being in London and NOT being able to be around people. I am in rural, East Texas. Isolation feels somewhat “natural” here, but in London?
I would have to be bad. I would wear my mask and sneak off to the pub. I don’t think that I could resist. More hugs:

34. A hug for you...
|
I kind of know the feeling - I live alone and haven't hugged or even shaken hands with another human since March 12, though I do have a cat, who cheers me up quite a bit. I am fortunate for being an introvert who doesn't really like people as a species very much, but I am definitely starting to miss them a bit, or some of them, anyhow. It must be a lot worse for you, though, considering the lockdown and the loss of your SO. This will be over eventually, but in the meantime:

Hi Soph, here are a couple hugs for you.
I too have been pretty much on my own since early March. And my cat does not like to cuddle, so I know how it feels when you can't get the hugs you are used to. Listening to my old favorite music on YouTube has been a blessing, and I have discovered some new favorites also. It helps in the evening, especially when I am feeling isolated. More hugs for you.

What a rough year this has been for you.. If there are little self care indulgences you can practice at home (long bubble bath, foot massage, order in some favorite food, listening to music you love, watching a funny movie or TV show, looking at beautiful photographs, thinking about/planning something wonderful that you want to do post-pandemic, calling someone special you haven't spoken to lately, writing some cards, making gratitude lists, practicing positive self-affirmations) this might help. We will get through this, and in the meantime your DU family is here for you! 💕🌞☘🕊⚘🦔 |

Tight hug with a little quiver. Ah, that was nice. A friend of mine told me about a cat that acts like a dog, a ragdoll cat, cuddles, and when the lockdown is over you can go to work not having to worry about taking a dog out. My saving grace is I'm not all that thrilled with people, you seem to be much more of a people person. When I started this I would have been your 99th hug, you should be feeling better
