If you want to go then go. There are lots of people doing non essential things and it’s not as if you are going to put anyone in danger!!
Hi @Palerider, I feel for you. I guess there is little that you can do at the moment in terms of Mum's house and her possessions, but I know that doesn't make it any easier. I think we all go through the what-if scenario's - I know I did, it serves little purpose but to tear us up, but we still do it for the sole reason that we care so much for our loved one. Everything you did was in your Mum's best interests.The house is still untouched and I haven't entered mums room since I packed the last of her things for the CH.

The news yesterday that EOL visiting would be allowed I hope does provide some solace to those who have loved ones in care.
Stay strong and safe. All the best.
So yesterday while at work I made my usual phone call to the care home to check on mum and to my surprise the carer got mum on the phone. It didn't last long but just hearing her voice was enough. Of course she couldn't use the phone but I could hear her saying its Simon and then she hung up
I called back later and spoke to the nurse and mum has improved. Seems pain was a big issue and now she has a morphine patch she has rallied. Should have got her replacements done years ago, too late now. But the morphine patch is working and mum I am told is much improved. I don't know how long this will last, we shall see.
