I wrote this article back in June about Covid-19 long-haulers, self-compassion, and healing from my own chronic illness over the past ten years. It was a vulnerable piece that I never expected to put out into the world.
I’m so glad I did.
Thank you for writing to tell me what is helping you keep hope. Thank you for sharing your sadness and fear. Thank you for reaching out to connect and ask for support.
Lately, I’ve been writing for a small, online long-hauler community called Corona Cafe. The weekly newsletter and community discussion focus on self-kindness, mindfulness, and gentle yoga instruction (adapted for long-hauler needs).
It’s a warm, welcoming space.
If you’d like to learn more, you can email founder/writer/fellow long-hauler and lovely human, Lisa Jensen (lisathejensen@gmail.com) with any questions. It’s been incredibly meaningful to write about healing for such an uplifting, supportive community.
I’ll see you there.
Warmly,
Jenny
