My dad is very unwell…

I don’t know what to think or do..he has been in the icu for two weeks but received a call from sister today morning that the doctors have informed that they are not happy with his condition..
He is in a red listed country-I’m the uk not sure if I can travel- even if I do it might be futile as the country is in lockdown and no one is allowed to visit anyone in the hospital

This had brought other issues to light- my daughter going back to school is a huge worry for me now - although nothing can be done

My husband is double vaccinated and is in and and out if shops etc. I’ve asked him to be cautious but this is causing issues -

I’m single jabbed and feel very fearful now- what if the next one is me or my husband?

We have not support here - who will care for my 7 year old?

I feel numb…I know life is messy - but we have had my dads bi-pass 3 months back, to him, my mum testing positive and now this…

So sorry OP. I have no advice but didn't want to read and run. Sending love ❤️ Thanks

I’m so sorry that your father is so unwell OP Flowers

It must be so difficult being far away making everything more painful. And it sounds like you’ve had a lot of worry recently.

Be kind to yourself. Have you any family living near your mum at the moment?

Whenever something like this happens it makes us look at life and feel as if everything is more fragile.

I say this very gently but I wonder if your concern over your husband going to the supermarket and your daughter going back to school is displaced worry as it is something you can influence (e.g. by telling your husband to be careful) ??

@everythingthelighttouches most likely it is displaced worry/ but I don’t know what to do..
