Thread: I have a mix of different feelings that I'm grappling with tonight as I try to sleep. 1. Deep sadness that I won't get to see my family this Christmas. 2. Frustration that it took the government this long to do the right thing, when it should have happened months ago (1/)
In honesty with myself, I've know this was coming since August but it's still awful all the same. 3. And perhaps the most confusing of them all, utter relief. Because in reality, I'm deeply relieved that the decision has been taken from me about whether to go home or not (2/)
I'm relieved that I won't be sat there with my family, feeling anxious that I've brought this virus home to them. Something I've been thinking about for weeks. And I'm hoping that because we miss this one Christmas, we get many, many more together (3/)
And finally 4. Grateful - grateful that I won't be alone this Christmas. Grateful for my family's support which makes doing the right thing for us, easier. Grateful for my friends and that we're all in this (and London) together and looking out for each another (4/)
Everyone has to do what feels right for them and their loved ones. No judgement or pressure. Best of wishes to everyone. And a plea for prompt and timely comms from those who make the decisions and continued mental health support from employers - it'll be essential for some (5/5)
