Gentleness for This

May be an image of 2 people and text that says 'me still processing last march marchnext march next month' — *A meme circulating on social media. “Me still processing last March,” “March next month.”*

I keep thinking about how feelings of trauma can get reactivated when we reach the dates of difficult anniversaries, and how we’re about to experience this for the pandemic while it’s still happening.

If we notice big spikes of stress in ourselves and others in the next 4-6 weeks, it makes complete sense. Gentleness for this.
