Stretched and pulled in all directions - on frontline workers

My Beautiful Stories

20-11-2020 • 8 mins

'The pride I have about my sister is so immense that I wanted to share with you all that my sister is a superhero.'
(Sheila)

Today's story comes from Sheila and is a beautiful tribute to her sister - an NHS worker directly involved in the fight against coronavirus.

Our discussion brings up the need to continue to support frontline workers during this second lockdown.  We speak about the rollercoaster all frontline workers have faced and the potential trauma and exhaustion which comes with this.

I add a sidenote about instagram, the platform where I met all people who have decided to share their stories of this year, and where I had the honour to meet Sheila, the author of today's story, also.
