I’d been with Chris for 12 years since we were 18. He’d always been the class clown and a bit of joker, but it all changed when Covid hit.Our son Ted was born in January 2020, and lockdown started a couple of months later.
It meant we had to cope on our own with a newborn, and our family and friends couldn’t meet him.“The change in Chris slowly became more noticeable.
He was making fewer jokes and seemed more fragile.”Chris was outgoing and loved to socialise. He was still working in his job as a pensions administrator, but now he was doing it at home with a new baby under the same roof.
He missed seeing his friends despite them setting up regular Friday gaming nights.The change in Chris slowly became more noticeable.
