Did you lose social support systems during the pandemic? Describe what that loss felt like. Have you restored those support systems yet? If so, how? If not, how might you go about doing that?

I am not as close to some people as I was before the pandemic but we still see each other occasionally at church and talk. I miss talking and hanging out with them as before but I know one day that will all return.

My loss during COVID time was time with MY family time. We talk on the phone, but it wasn’t a hug. I felt isolated. Now we get together often. Now we meet for lunch.

I did lose personal contact with friends and family members. We did talk on the phone, and sometimes we met in the park or outside at my home around a fire pit. My social systems have been restored. I am back to attending church, Bible study, having meals in my home and coffee with friends. I am now very aware of the value of friends and family and I hope I continue to treasure my time with each of them.

Social support system were not entirely lost. However, the quality of interactions changed by doing everything online or by phone. The frequency of contacts was, on the other hand, easier to increase because the amount of travel required to stay.in touch reduced
-
Lost getting together in church and prayer meetings in person but I had opportunity to watch the service online . The prayer group started prayer through zoom. My family started a prayer group through a prayer line and still goes on. Covid bought the best out of me, had more time to pray for others and to meditate on His words and it still goes on.
