We’re allowed to be upset about COVID-19
I just seen a pregnant women post about how she was upset about not getting her ultrasound due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the responses were very rude and negative. I just want to say, it is okay to be pissed off! This is affecting all of us negatively, and we all have a right to be upset about how it’s ruined something in our lives. Yes, we all need to be grateful that we are okay and that our loved ones are okay. Yes, this is taking lives, people are dying alone, people are getting left alone and that is awful! No one is saying it’s not, and we all feel for everyone that has passed and their families. But this is also ruining graduation ceremonies that high school seniors have spent their entire lives working towards and looking forward to. College Graduations, high school proms, so many things that they won’t get to experience. And that’s not fair! They have every right to be upset! There are couples about to give birth to babies without parents getting to meet their first grand baby for who knows how long, there’s siblings not getting to meet their new baby brother or sister. Mothers not getting to hold their daughters hand as she gives birth for the first time. Expecting mother’s and fathers that have to miss doctors appointments and ultrasounds that would ease their minds and give them peace that their baby is okay in an already stressful environment. Taking jobs away from our working class citizens, not knowing if they’ll be able to pay rent or feed their children. Some of us, multiple things I’ve listed and more. We are all suffering in different ways and we all have the right to vent, cry, be angry and express whatever emotion we feel necessary. This is not something ANYONE was prepared for. We as humans, need to start looking after each other better. Quit hating and bashing each other over every little thing.
