Dark Emotions Mary McBride Brown

Dr. Mary Brown, an educator, coped with the stresses brought on by Covid-19 by writing poetry. Her connection with the "worth of her words" helped take away the sting of the reality she faced due to the 2021 Covid-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Pandemic impacted the mental health and well-being of many families. The ongoing fear and worry about job loss, family, friends, coworkers, self, and contracting the virus resulted in ongoing fear, which is a symptom of anxiety. Anxiety affects appetite, causes sleep problems, and significantly impacts a person's ability to cope daily. Anyone dealing with overwhelming mental health problems should be encouraged to seek professional assistance.
