So often, when crisis hits, people come together. Metricon Pre-Site Manager Jemma has found value in reigniting connections with her friends, family and colleagues throughout the pandemic.
As we talk through the challenges of coronavirus, the energy in our conversation shifts slightly, and there’s an undertone of sadness in Jemma’s voice.
I’m doing okay, but it does feel like there’s no end in sight. It scares me because you don’t know what’s going to come. When we had the break between the stage one and stage two lockdowns, I was so thankful to be able to visit my grandfather who had just gone through two major operations. I also didn’t realise how much I missed hugs. Going through isolation has been a challenge, but it has also taught me the value of not taking things for granted. I used to think, ‘I can’t be bothered going out this weekend, I’ll go another time.’ Now, I would love to spend even just five minutes with my friends.
