COVID-19 has isolated women from friends and family, and the support systems that mothers rely on to deal with anxieties and share in the excitement of pregnancy and parenting. It has created unforeseen and unbearable situations for both mothers and fathers. But it has also been a hidden blessing for many.
Navigating COVID-19 is an anthology that highlights the realities of bringing a new life into the world and raising them in the middle of a pandemic, as well as parenting children of all ages while adapting to the ‘new normal’. The stories are ones of love, bonding, kindness, compassion, strength, survival, resilience, fear, isolation, stress, panic, anxiety and more. It will empower expecting, new and veteran parents in different ways.
There is no better way to inspire others to share their stories than by acknowledging your own and sharing them with the world. It forges the most soulful and fulfilling human connections.
