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 did not really lose much support during those times,i still have those support, i could be better at helping others too, it is so easy to just go online.

My social support system was decreased from personal contact to gathering together on zoom for prayer group meetings with friends and church members.
The loss was minor at that point so it did not feel so dark because we were able to see and support each other and have conversations with each other.
Yes, we have restored most of the contact and social support but still maintaining some social distancing.

Yes and some actually died during the time of Covid. It felt lonely and depressing not having those who were close friends to at least talk to. I have a different support system now. I am trying to develop a new group of friends. We have returned to church and to some of our community outreach activities.

Yes, I did lose social support during the Pandemic. I felt very isolated and fearful. Those feelings uncovered Anxiety which affected my heart. I have now restored my support systems. I’ve started back with my Bunco group of women and go to church on Wednesday night for Bible study.

I had not lost any support from my family and friends during the pandemic. The disconnection may be at times that if I have not opened up myself to share with them my real feelings and needs as to not burden them. Likewise, I have learned to observe their unspoken clues and try asking more questions about how their days have been to open up the dialogue for sharing.
