A different lockdown experience – one mother’s fight with Covid-19

‘Until finally, on Sunday afternoon, our doctor called for an ambulance.

 There is honestly nothing quite like kissing your family goodbye, not knowing what will happen next.’

Today we are immensely grateful to Lucille, who has agreed to share her experience of having been diagnosed with Covid-19 during lockdown.

TW:

This story features description of symptoms of Covid-19 and tells the story of a family’s fight with the virus.

DISCUSSION

We were extremely grateful that Lucille decided to share a painful event in her life with us.

Her experience of UK lockdown is so far removed from our own, and this is how we start our discussion in today’s episode.

Yet what we loved about Lucille’s story is her generosity. In sharing her story with others, with our audience and on her blog, she helps us understand her struggles better.  Her account is also a beautiful ode to the NHS workers.

We are so grateful to Lucille for sharing her experience with us.

RECOMMENDATION

I highly recommend that you follow Lucille on instagram and on her website, which includes details about her independent jewelry business. 

The other recommendation today is a film which speaks about dealing with pain and family matters: My Left Foot.
