Dear friend, I know I told you already how compelling and relatable I found this post, but I also wanted to say it here in public. I loved reading this in print and especially hearing it in your voice. It is so generous of you put such care and flair into articulating the true inanity of this time in our lives, so those of us who haven't managed to distill it into words have a place for our souls to land. I hope writing continues to be part of your healing process if that feels right--for your sake and because it's healing for others, too!
I can relate to so much of this. Well written as always! It's so baffling how varied symptoms, durations, and severities are for us Long Haulers, but at the same time we can still find commonalities in our experiences. 15 months back at work is great, but I share all of your fears and hopes and sorrows about re-entering the village! Stay strong Adele.
Josh, so lovely to have you here. Thank you for reading- means so much to me that other Long Haulers find resonance- we NEED that! Solidarity! I think of you every time I attempt a light jog. And I'm still holding out that someday we will meet up at a run. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Though our experience has been pretty different, your writing helps me to better understand my own. You’ve been a cairn for me on this unplotted ground, so I was glad to see you back here. I share the irk, the struggle to find a new voice, and to navigate the integration. This all still feels so impossibly ridiculous.
I wonder if it was Kripalu where you tried to find restoration? I’ve been feeling the call to return to one of my favorites places, but my intuition tells me it would be too much... (right now)
Thank you for this, and condolences on the death of your friend. 🤍
I'm so happy to see you here. I have missed our sweet connection. I agree- impossibly ridiculous. And still, onward. Yes, Kripalu. It USED to be on of my favorite places but that has been sullied. For now. Happy to share more in a private chat. Much love to you. xo
Wonderful words and so beautifully read and expressed. You’ve got this and you are proceeding admirably! I am so proud of you. Thanksgiving is coming!!!

🫖 I would love to hear the tea, but only if it wouldn’t be detrimental to you to share it.
