I am trying to weigh up the pros and cons of taking my 85 year old mum on holiday to sri lanka for a couple of weeks later this year. I know its going to be challe ging but she has often talked about how nice it would be to see the place that she grew up. It will also be a chance to catch up with relatives whom she is unlikely to see again. I also am keen to go to catchup with my cousins. It was a trip i was planning after i retired in february 2020 but for obvious reasons, could not go ahead.
My brother and husband are against the idea. Apart from not knowing what will happen with the virus, we dont know how such a big change would affect her orientation and confusion levels. She is still continent and can hold a conversation but often thinks her mum is still alive.
My brother and husband are totally against us going but i feel its our last chance and would be a great thing to do while she still can.
I am going to do some investigations about flights travel and medical insurance and find out what would be the most suitable accommodation to stay in etc but would be grateful for any advice from anyone who may have done something similar. I see mum every day for the last couple of years since she and my brother moved close to me.
