Nurse in the Talitha district (38) continues to suffer from a feeling of guilt after the corona years. Did she possibly infect vulnerable elderly people during that period and did some of them die because of her? She seeks support from a coach and decides to write down and share her experiences. Read her story in seven guest blogs, starting in the first months of 2020. In this last episode: ‘I want to be “normal” in life again.
It is now three years later. Three years after that first uncertain period in which the Netherlands was locked down due to the corona virus, but I had to keep working. After all, I had an essential profession. Why am I still so afraid of infecting others, especially vulnerable clients, with the corona virus?
There have been so many infections in the first corona year, so many at once, and five of my clients have died from this. All in a period of several weeks.
Lately I’ve been thinking about this a lot: what makes me still react so strongly at the beginning of this year, when two colleagues turned out to have covid and a few colleagues tested negative with a cold? Where is the pain point, the pain point that triggers me? If I think about it carefully, I come to the conclusion that it is in the contagiousness. I’m still afraid to walk around infected myself without complaints and therefore unknowingly make someone else sick. If it turns out afterwards that I have been positive, I would feel extremely guilty about it.
