Great idea. I filled out the form. My wife and I (in our 60s) both got COVID very early on. We both ended up with Long COVID. I still have issues with my body due to either COVID or the shots or a combination of the two. I lost my ability to walk long distances. Before the heatwave this summer, I finally got back to being able to walk a mile. Now, after the heatwave, I'm struggling again. Once the heat settles down, I'll return to plodding my way back to health. My wife has it much worse. She ended up with Mild Cognitive Impairment. (There's nothing "mild" about this, btw.) She started having hallucinations the night after the second booster shot. This continued and got worse through last Christmas. She's had three different brain scans and also been tested for everything. She doesn't have any known dementia (Alzheimer's, Parkinsons, etc), but she can't remember a lot of her life nor can she remember very well what you just told her. So, we're still dealing with this whole nasty mess. I'm looking forward to the meeting. My schedule is such that I might not be able to be there on either day, but I'll try to drop in as I can. Thank you for doing this!
Thank you! You're welcome to join for as much as you can. Your family's experience definitely illustrates why I want to do this, there is so much that was lost that has never even been acknowledged communally let alone grieved. And yeah, mild cognitive impairment definitely not mild in the impact on your life.
Glad to have you for whatever you can attend. We'll have a break for sit spot, lu ch and creative expression, so most likely it would be during that time for better or for worse. Also, if you have any colleagues you think would find it valuable, I would really appreciate you sharing it with them.
Signed up. Thank you for this.
So glad to have you! I hope it brings some nurturing to your heart and soul.

I'll be there! Might have to duck out for an hour in the middle for a hospital meeting, but looking forward to it!
