I miss them. And when I do talk to them, it makes me feel so much better. Still, it’s hard to make the effort during this time. Lydia Denworth: I completely understand. Some of what we’re doing online to connect during COVID is working for people and some of it isn’t. Or some of it worked at the beginning and now it’s getting old. My strong suggestion is going to be that you try to find a different part of the day [to reach out]. For example, I’m doubling up when I go for a morning walk. I might call a friend then and talk then. Or I might do it during a grocery shopping run that week. I’ll call a friend while I’m driving in the car. I’m trying to utilize “found” moments. It’s not the same as the friends back in Brooklyn that I would regularly get together with for dinner or a drink—we’re obviously not doing that—and the group Zoom thing can get kind of old, but your friends are a critical piece of getting you through a time like this. [You also need to] be forgiving with your friends about what they can give you and what you can give them. As for friends that don’t have kids, they really are in a very different place—there’s no question about it. So, connection has to come from two things: 1. They need to try hard to understand what’s going on in your life as a mom, but 2. you also do need to try to find some moment in your day to reach out to them. Because I really do think it will make you feel better.
