Abhishek is isolated after a long hospital stay: a call a week would help

No advice needed - just a kind ear and some conversation for 30 minutes a week.

After a long hospital stay, I have been mostly housebound for 8 weeks. My family live far away, and the days can feel very long. I'm not looking for therapy - I've that covered - but for conversation. I'm hoping for someone who can call for about 30 minutes once a week whenever suits us both. I like film, travel stories and poetry, and can listen to anything. This can be from anywhere in the world as long as you speak English. We can arrange the calls through the platform, with email shared only when we're both comfortable. Thanks for even thinking about it. Thank you for reading my story.

    Wishing you peace, Abhishek. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Take care

    • Sunita D. Srivastava

      Take care, Abhishek. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Salem!

      • Piotr Mateusz Sawicki

        Hang in there, Abhishek. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Mumbai
