Beautiful reflections Lisa. That word malaise is interesting because one of the dominating symptoms of Long COVID is referred to as PEM, or Post-Exertional Malaise. I’ve come to think that malaise is not quite the right word for the the debilitating fatigue that affects sufferers after using too many spoons of energy. As you write, malaise seems to be a kind of seeping, whereas fatigue is heavy and weighs your body down.

Like you, I found Nick’s letter of this week very moving - as most of his letters are. So exquisitely crafted and the effort that goes into them so obvious. Just like your writing. ♥️♥️
