I have a holiday of a lifetime booked. Long haul - already cancelled twice due to Covid. Finally doing it next week. I am not someone who goes away regularly so this is a big deal for me.
But this week, one of my nuclear family members has been admitted to ICU. They're in a coma and unlikely to wake up whilst I'm away, but there's always a small chance. There are a couple of other people who can go and visit, but only one is a close family member. Other than that it's friends.
AIBU to go on the holiday for 2 weeks and say I'll come and visit when I'm back?
I feel guilty but also like I'm not really much help whilst here because they're just unconscious and probably will be for the next few weeks :( But equally, they could even die whilst I'm away, and then I might feel terrible.
Please be kind. This is very hard.
