During this pandemic, people are looking for guidance and support in different places. Talk about where you've been looking for support, and how helpful (or not helpful) these sources have been to you.

My support comes from my coworkers, my family, and my temple family. Of course, my coworkers are dealing with the same issues that I am, work-related. We've always been able to share and rely on each other for support. My family, too, is very supportive. My husband is a retired nurse, so he absolutely understands. My temple family, the congregation, has been my cheerleaders. They seem to know exactly when I need to hear those words of encouragement. Each time we meet for virtual Shabbat services or weekly Shabbat blessings, they ask me how things are at the hospital and how I am. They have literally clapped and cheered for me. I don't feel that I deserve it, but they disagree. Regardless, they make me feel like a hero.
