Parents Play an All-Consuming Role During the Pandemic

Navigating that Role is All-Consuming

“What a treasure! These strange times of coping with the coronavirus tests relationships. Reading Matt’s letter to his 7-year-old son gives a perspective that will not only be their memory, but it offers a window of enlightened reflection for all of us!”

-Diane Nilan

Many parents are now working from home for the first time, because of the pandemic. If that wasn’t enough, schools are closed and there is some form of shelter in place to abide to. We’re mostly unable to leave the house or partake in many aspects of life we enjoyed just a few short months ago.

Stress.
Chaos.
Fear.

The demands of the new “normal” are exacting. Many parents are in a role they never imagined for themselves, but there is an opportunity to play a more formative role in our children’s development.

The Virus and Us: A Letter from Father to Son in the Midst of the Pandemic is one Chicago-area father’s attempt to make sense of this current reality. It’s a letter from father to son, meant for his son to read at a later date. The letter provides historical context and a personal assessment of how the virus has impacted his family. It also discusses what it’s been like living in a pandemic with an autoimmune condition.

The author Matthew Brennan runs a copywriting business, while his wife works as an infusion nurse at a hospital. He found himself monitoring his first-grader’s schooling when the pandemic struck.

The Virus and Us is a resource for working parents everywhere. It’s for people who may be looking to put the pandemic into a historical or societal context. It’s an attempt to make sense of this brand-new world and everything the author wishes he could convey to his young son.

“As a parent of 4 myself, I find it challenging to talk to my children of varying ages regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. For my younger ones, I need more tact so that our discussion doesn't induce undue anxiety, and reading Matt's work helped me with framing my conversations with them. I resonated strongly with this beautiful work, which will stick with me for a long time.”

-Josh Misner
