The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a pandemic that has changed our lives drastically. In this reflection, we offer our experiences focusing on the disruptions and lessons from our lived experiences with hope that our shared vulnerability and collective experience that calls us to reflect more and offer compassion within ourselves, places of work, and our homes.
