Thank you. This is a wise approach to discussing difficult topics and one I will definitely use (hopefully with the same sensitivity to the tipping point as you demonstrated). My son is struggling with long COVID and I worry so much for him.

My husband and I (70, 67) live and care for our 42 year old physically disabled son. We live in an isolated, masked world where we are not understood by our siblings, two other adult children and their spouses and friends and relatives we once easily conversed with. We have educated ourselves on Long Covid and Covid itself. All three of us are at high risk for Long Covid and/or severe Covid disease or worse. We’re also waiting for the world to awaken to the literally millions of us at risk or already in battle. I am so glad to hear of your book. It gives us hope.

I’m not sure time will help. I’ve had ME post viral since 2012 and my family are mostly ignoring me… despite fainting at my nephews wedding 2 years ago.

They don’t want to know.
