These are confusing and stressful times. Already in the 21st century, the United States has experienced a major recession, mass shootings, large-scale natural disasters, and multiple coordinated terrorist attacks.Now we are struggling to come to grips with a global pandemic. The wide-ranging effects of the coronavirus has indeed brought the lives of hundreds of millions, if not billions of people to a screeching halt. There's also a sharp political divide and we're plummeting into a steep economic downturn, if not a depression. Businesses have been decimated amidst the highest unemployment rate in decades.This massively traumatic event and public health disaster is impacting all of us. However, our reactions to terrible experiences are uniquely individual. Increased job loss, family discord, and deaths -- all related to COVID-19 --are but a few distressing events that have triggered diverse negative emotional reactions in our society. Given these issues, nobody should assume this situation will conclude neatly.In fact, some research indicates a three-fold rise in cases of depression and anxiety since the start of COVID-19. And doctors have noticed some unusual medical conditions secondary to the virus, i.e., heart attacks, strokes, respiratory issues, and neurological conditions. This book explores the coronavirus pandemic by presenting, in chronological order, 11 of my social media posts. Themes covered range from coping with loss to living your best life and everything in-between.Herein, I've provided you with opportunities to emotionally process and discuss your COVID-19 concerns with those closest to you. I think you will find that a combination of healthy self-reflection and constructive communication will decrease fear, interpersonal isolation, and feelings of emotional discomfort.
