How the pandemic has affected my family
Something quite unexpected came to humanity without knowing how long it will be. It is the "Coronavirus". We know that the Bible speaks of pestilences as signs for the times near the end, yet no one expected this pandemic problem for this time.
The "Covid" has undoubtedly affected the family. The normality in which society had been going through was broken with the appearance of "Covid". From one moment to another, the rulers of each country began to issue regulations with the intention of taking care of the health of its inhabitants, establishing social isolation and quarantine.

Social gatherings were banned and families began to lead a life of confinement in their homes.
The first effect of the pandemic in the family has been fear and anxiety.
In particular, I am scared and terrified of being infected with this virus and also having to contaminate the rest of my family.
Fear consumes me and fills me with great anxiety. I cannot leave the house if it is not for fear of catching it in a business and then having to infect my children. This has me very worried and fills me with panic.
Life in four walls is also very stressful for me. Taking care of the children with their virtual tasks is very exhausting, because there are three children and I also have to take care of the responsibilities in my work as a supervisor.
In my work I try to isolate myself as much as possible because of the same fear of contagion and that it could harm my family.
It is not easy at all to share with the family in four walls and the fear of catching it if we leave the house.
The pandemic has affected my family nucleus emotionally and psychologically. My children complain that they want to go out to play in the park, however, when I do, I go with the fear that someone may infect them.
It is very stressful to lead family life in the pandemic situation in which we currently live. We only meet in church on Sundays. I need to seek God's help more to have spiritual support and to overcome the fear that all this problem of the pandemic produces in me.
I think many families are going through this same situation. Help has to come from God and I must do my part, seek more of his presence.
