My dad is 92 and on his last leg health wise. He is several states away and I cannot go to him or my mom with the covid stuff going on. And I was recently dx with fibromyalgia. It explains my total exhaustion for so many years. But with all this going on I am very depressed right now. Very.

It’s very risky to travel right now. Some states require visitors to quarantine if they stay you don’t want to get exposed either unknowingly and put your mother at risk.

Sorry but the safest thing is probably just being with them by phone.

I'm sorry you are faced with such a difficult dilemma. This must be very difficult for you. I send you my best wishes.

One of the most heartbreaking things about the pandemic has been people having to be separated from their family and loved ones in their final days and hours. I hope you find some peace in this difficult time.

Whenever i see you post, i remember how quickly and thoroughly you responded when there was that accident some years ago, didnt that involve your parents? You were one hundred percent there when you could be. I just remember such a feeling of devotion.
