A Death
My partner and I have separate homes; mine is a cottage in the country, hers is one of four apartments in a small conversion. For the duration of the COVID-19 'lockdown' she has been living full time at my place but visits her apartment while out food shopping to get her mail and phone her friends and relatives. She had not seen any of her neighbours during her intermittent visits to her home until yesterday, 19/05, eight weeks after lockdown had started when she met a new neighbour who was renting one of the apartments. It was then that she heard that her upstairs neighbour had hanged himself two weeks into the lockdown.

That's awful news, Nikki. I am sorry to say that this situation will have helped tip many over the edge. I am glad to hear that your partner is with you and I hope she is OK. Stay well and safe both of you. Sue x
ReplyDeleteSue, I'm certain you are right about the 'collateral' effects of lockdown. I was involved in promoting the wellbeing of people through planning some years ago and being confined to an apartment was the antithesis of that aim. We are both well, thanks, and I hope things are good with you. Nikki xxx
