My grandmother has just lost her husband of nearly 60 year’s.. She’s nearly 80.
She doesn’t want to be on her own so we make sure that someone is there with her at all times.
She watches the news. She’s fully aware of covid-19. She doesn’t seem too concerned. I think it’s because she’s not in a good state of mind and at the moment she can’t think of anything worse than just happened. His death was sudden.
She wants us still visit etc. Obviously we will
take precautions - staying away from crowded places, minimising our contact with others, not visiting if we have symptoms (obviously), hand washing on arrival..
But what else can I do?
I have young dc and Dd had a snotty nose at the weekend (I know that alone isn’t a sign) we didn’t pop in. I felt incredibly guilty and I think she missed seeing her great grandchildren. They could pick it up from school..
But we are told to be cautious around our elderly relatives and I’m worried sick.
I feel guilty for not going but would never live with myself if she got it.
She is planning to stay in as much as possible herself. She doesn’t go very far anyaway. She’s stocked up on some supplies and has plenty of family to help out. - my parents, my siblings, my uncles, neighbours, friends etc. She’s very lucky.
