[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. My dearest friend is in a similar situation, with her MD husband on a COVID unit, coming home at night where he has to retreat to their basement. This is an extended trauma for those on the frontlines and a huge sacrifice for them and their families. Is there anything that would help make it feel better or relieve some pressure? I would hope to help ease the burden on frontline workers and their families—and I’m sure others would too. [/quote] OP here. What would honestly help is if my friends called/emailed/texted to check in on us and see how we're doing, that would make me feel less alone. Only one is really doing that. It would also help if my husband wasn't so grumpy/exhausted all the time. I have no quality time with my husband since this all started. We haven't had a conversation to ourselves in 6 weeks. We haven't sat and watched a movie together in 6 weeks. He lives in the master bedroom now. When we do see him, he makes me feel like being with us is an imposition. We don't see him on the weekdays because he says he needs to go to sleep at 8 pm and he goes into work before we wake up. The weekends are not fun family time. He spends some time with the kids but isn't happy about it. He wants that time to himself to recharge from the week.[/quote]
