My wife Karen and I were at the Children’s Health Fund and National Center for Disaster Preparedness offices earlier last week. The place was surreal in its emptiness, much like the rest of the world and the “new normal.” We are settling into how we organize our lives in a strange, constantly changing environment.

Many of us may be having challenges adapting to these changes and profound disruptions to what, until recently, had been just routines, maintaining personal connections and trying to live a balanced life.
