COVID-19 and Healthcare Workers' Emotions

Healthcare workers on the frontlines of the COVID-19 pandemic are experiencing a mix of emotions. They feel anxious and scared about the unknown, worried about their own safety and the safety of their families. Despite the fear, they continue to show up and care for others, finding joy in the support and appreciation they receive. The pandemic has highlighted the importance of self-care and being gentler with themselves. Asking genuine, caring questions about their experiences can foster empathy and understanding from non-healthcare workers. By amplifying the voices of healthcare workers, we can gain a better appreciation for their human vulnerability while recognizing their courage and dedication to their profession.
