Life, Support, and other challenges, in the time of COVID-19

In this difficult time of social isolation, we are all facing challenges that we never imagined at the beginning of the year. Starting a few week ago, as the news worsened and it became apparent that visiting my consulting clients in their homes and offices was not going to be wise or even possible, we began working on a letter to clients advising them that I was going to start providing remote support only.

This plan went from something that was a good idea to something that was absolutely necessary when I got a call on the morning of March 15th. My daughter, at school 3000 miles away in Scotland, had taken a 4-5 meter fall, landed on her head and was now in the ICU of the Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. I jumped on a flight and was by her side early the next morning. She has been incredibly lucky. The hospital staff were amazing, their care and skill beyond compare. She is able to move all her limbs, talk, and her memory, while fuzzy, is returning quickly.

Just five days after the accident, she was released from the hospital and I drove her down to England, to be close to my father in Malvern. We are staying in a rental, not with my father, for safety’s sake. She continues to recover - a lot of sleeping, some walking, but mostly staying away from everyone.

I’m going to be here in Malvern for at least a month. There are too many variables at the moment to know exactly what will happen next - travel restrictions, her progress, the length and severity of the pandemic, etc.. So - I am back to the plan we started working on nearly a month ago - remote support.

Whether you are someone I’ve worked with in Maine or Delaware for years, or a new client just about anywhere, I am ready to help. If you are looking for clear, patient support, either over the phone or via screen sharing, get in touch and we can set up a time for me to help you.
