Some pressure is near unbearable, even without the current covid situation. And seeing suffering and so many deaths in a short period of time will also affect your sense of humour and your ability to put things in perspective, I get that.</p><p>But the ability to put things in perspective, and a healthy sense of humour are a tremendous help when trying to cope with life&#039;s difficulties, especially the extreme ones.</p><p>I am not a covid and cancer research nurse, but I have suffered a range of severe and life threatening illnesses, all throughout my life. I was in my twenties when I was told that any simple infection, for instance the common cold, could kill me. Since then, every tiny infection has been a potential killer. It is my lifelong sword of Damocles.</p><p>Apart from that I have been, and am still being, confronted with cancer, dementia and other illnesses in loved ones, just like so many people here.</p><p>So yes, I understand life and death pressure, albeit in a different way. But one of the ways to cope with it has been my sense of humour. That can leave me in dark hours, but I always work hard to get it back, because it works like a medicine. So please people, laugh, crack a joke, find your sense of humour.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
