I agree! I didn’t grow up with the tech so the whole “like” or “helpful” votes can be hard on self-esteem unless people have plenty of experience in building a thick skin. To me it’s like a popularity contest.

During lockdowns I didn’t even have this phone. But I didn’t think it’d last too long!

So isolation is more unbearable while grieving. It’s like a mental prison.[emoji30]

No in person support groups for sure, and I don’t have access or knowledge of Zoom. I hate that word now.[emoji57]
