I lost a significant amount of freelance income, and also the chance at a new career that I’d worked and sacrificed towards, during the pandemic. I know people who died, and more who were severely ill, including family. I have a large swath of friends and colleagues who had to watch loved ones slowly suffer and die from a distance. And even more people who have lost jobs, entire businesses, homes, and even marriages.
But you go on about your bread-shame, Gwyneth. Please tell us how very hard it was for you.
