Helping pass the time
Hello everyone, I'm hoping some of you creative folks can help me out. A friend of mine is suffering terribly with what we suspect is long-term Covid-19. The obvious symptoms are finally gone (so relieved!) but recovery seems a long way off.
She's very tired and it's getting her down. All there is for it is to wait and see if various treatments begin to ease up her aches and pains and help her eat again.
We're all well aware that recovery is a waiting game but how do you like to pass the time in recovery? She can't have visitors but we chat online, she can't focus enough to read and she has no energy. Many of us have been in this situation but it's been like this for her since about April.
There are so many inspirational and fun and creative people on here. I'm hoping some of you can help me to boost her morale. This horrible disease can't last forever, better times are on the way. Any recommendations for how I can remind her of that (without sounding preachy or super annoying) would be so helpful.
Hope you're all well!
Thank you in advance,
Jenny

I wonder if she would enjoy any of the crafts we have going on in our Kaleidoscope thread. Or maybe an audio book or podcast would interest her and be a good distraction. What kind of interests does she have?
