"I’ve been sad, I’ve been lonely, I’ve been frustrated. I’ve enjoyed the down time, I’ve felt loved &I’ve felt cared about. There have been highs, there have been lows, I wish it hadn’t had to have happen, but if I had to do it again, I know I would cope."

“I took the car out…it seemed so weird everybody socialising because I’ve been told not to do that…I came back feeling emotional because there is a life out there that I haven’t been seeing”

"I have kept myself busy...I cleared all my cupboards…I’ve baked…It's lonely on your own so I’ve been knitting rabbits and a babies shawl."

“I feel the isolation,
Detached from reality.
The outside world passes me by
As I watch from my balcony.”
