A Strange Sense of Togetherness

There is no doubt that the COVID-19 pandemic has put stress on all of us in different ways. We are seeing different parts of our communities crumble under this huge weight. We are having to say goodbye to loved ones and friends who have taken their last breath and we are unable to see them which has been traumatizing to say the least. There have been so many positive messages circling simply to make us feel better as humans. I mean, how many times can we hear “we’re all in this together?” Although it is a good sentiment, I believe that many of us, including myself, have found it harder to believe that statement in this current climate. Many things have continued to keep us divided, but more importantly we should think about the ways that the coronavirus pandemic has brought us closer together.
