Travelling for see terminally ill parent - allowed?

[Lemons1571]

Parent has a terminal prognosis and has been given X months to live. But they are a long drive away (5 hours). Can their adult child drive to see them? I have visions that they need to be in bed on their last breaths, but maybe we’re allowed to travel before that stage? Have thought of asking parent to send a copy of the consultants letter in case we get stopped by the police. Would you go? Or wait until lockdown lifted and hope that they’re still around?

Parent lives alone but sibling is their support / carer so no bubbles possible.

Fuck the rules, you go

A fine would be the last thing I'd be thinking about

I would go whether it was allowed or not 💐

I would go. Just take precautions! Maybe book a test the isolate as much as possible before you go to minimise the risk. Go though! I don’t think anyone would say not to in this situation. 🌸💗

Rules are made fir the guidance of the wise and the obedience of fools.

Go, just go, as I did a fortnight ago to be with my mum and hold her hand whilst she died. Who cares about rules under these circumstances - would I have let my mum die alone? Hell, no, nothing would have stopped me
