Being at home all day, I liked meeting neighbours for a chat or the tesco delivery men having a chat/laugh for a few mins. The siblings would visit and it would be a break.
The siblings and my nieces who are only 2 and 6 months arent going to visit for a number of weeks in case of passing on the virus to our mother or ourselves. A neighbour dropped a card in the letterbox wishing us well-she didnt want to call due to the virus. The tesco delivery man, who we know from regular shopping with them over the years wasn't allowed in to house and left groceries on doorstep and stood a good bit away as we had a quick chat.
These things have made me sad as it was already a lonely experience being a carer.
My mother has a dnr, no antibiotics etc will be given. She gets the virus then thats it, would she even be allowed visitors in hospital, would she be given any sort of support if they are under such pressure?If she gets it then we get it and would have to isolate. There is talk here in ireland that the victims are buried without a funeral and you have it at a later date. My sister would be considered vulnerable also and so we are worried about it coming in our door.
Such uncertain times ahead. I wish you all the very best.
