I really miss hugs.

Dang - this is the second saddest thing that I have read today. My grand-daughter (who I haven't seen in two years) is supposed to fly in from California next week. What am I left with - waving to her? "Hi, nice to see you from 6 feet away." I'm a hugger, too. Perhaps I will throw caution to the wind and then spray us both down with disinfectant.

One of the many casualties of this current situation with Covid-19 is physical contact. I am and always have been a very tactile person. I hug, touch, pat, give lots of hugs and kisses to the grands and step grands, always hug my kids and step kids hello and goodbye, some of my clients too (the ones who have become like family I've been working for them for so long) I just....it's just my way.

Ron and I still hug and kiss of course. But I'm keeping my distance from everyone else for both our sakes. And it's really, really hard. I dropped some stuff off at my son's house yesterday. Not being able to hug him when I left felt like a physical ache, and I cried a little.

I'm really struggling with this, more than any other aspect of the virus so far other than my heightened anxiety. 😢

Ronnie I know exactly what you mean, I am a Huggy ,Kissy Person. I really miss hugging and kissing my Children and Grandchildren. I really wish that they would find a cure for this covid-19.
 

Don't worry, I think it's going to get better in a few months. I really do! You will be able to hug and kiss again. This is something we all have hunker down and endure. You are so lucky, Ronni, to have your man and your family around you, even if you can't hug. My kids live thousands of miles away!
 
I'm not really a hugger,more like an air kisser. One on each cheek that really doesn't make contact so I'm ok with no hugging and kissing at this time.
No buffet or salad bars in the future? Now that's something I'm going to have trouble accepting.
 
I’ll be seeing my daughter today as it’s Mothers Day and we’ve never spent one apart but we’ve agreed no hugging or kissing, it will seem really weird as we’ve always been very affectionate, but better to be safe than sorry

I’m missing my hugs and kisses with my friends too ! :(

Well if you're not particularly tactile, I can understand that you would feel this way.

But that physical connection with my loved ones speaks to an emotional aspect of those relationships from which I derive great comfort. Not being able to hug and touch is emotionally painful to me. That I still hug Ron doesn't substitute for everyone else I CAN'T hug, and that hurts me. 😢

...........and as I reread what I wrote, it sounds overly dramatic. I don't know how to communicate the feeling so that it doesn't sound that way. I think the only way you can understand it is if you have a similar need for physical touch. If you do, you get it. And if you don't, it will sound ridiculously over-the-top.
 
Well huggin was the last thing on my mind today, just glad to have her with me and what a day....my kids gone home a nervous wreck ! :eek:

First my turkey crown, defrosting in the fridge, leaked, I had to get all the shelves, salad cooler etc out, it even dripped down into the freezer, wipe it all out with kitchen roll, and again with hot soapy water

With the dinner plates, on top of the oven to warm, I turned the wrong hob on and the underneath plate exploded, I wondered what the smell was just before it went up....

Then after, I’d washed up and we were having a cuppa, the breeze blew my curtain in, it caught the roasting tin in the drainer and sent it flying, she nearly jumped off the settee, I was crying with laughter, she’s gone home to have a lie down in a darkened room 😆🤣😆

of course you must hug your partner if you both wish.. only if one of you has the virus you mustn't hug each other.. but even if you have no symptoms you mustn't hug any friends or family members who don't live in your home.. remember social distancing stand at least 3 feet apart ( 6 feet if there's any sign of someone having cold symptoms)

I made a very definitive statement of how much I miss hugs. You responded with "hugs is the last thing we need all to be worried about" which communicated to me that you did not miss hugs the way I do. The logical conclusion from that is that you're not a tactile person the way I am, because whereas you're not worried about it, *I* am.

Obviously I understand the common sense aspect which is WHY I'm not hugging, and therefore why I miss it so.
