In this episode Kay reflects on how lockdown is affecting lots of people in different ways and asks the question: ‘Has the pandemic and the lockdown just highlighted the loneliness for some?’ For many, it has been about coming together and community but if you are someone without family and friends it can be challenging watching the rest of the world getting together even if they are doing it whilst socially distancing.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Hearing about others looking after each other can be challenging if you don’t have any family or friends. It can make you feel very sad and angry. Everyone has a different way of coping and sometimes children can be the start for friendships but having children can also be isolating. When someone calls out that they are struggling make sure you answer the call. Be kind to each other you never know what is going on in someone else’s life.   BEST MOMENTS ‘She has one great friend but she lives too far away to see regularly’ ‘She thought when she had her babies it would be the start of lots of mummy friends’    VALUABLE RESOURCES IVF Before and After Podcast   ABOUT THE HOST IVF Before and After was founded by Kay Dempsey.
