[quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I'm white and have relatives in that part of the country and other parts with similarly limited travel. I also have other relatives who have traveled widely in multiple countries. I've mourned this, not exactly as guilt, but as deep sadness. Are you sure some of it isn't anticipatory grief? As people get older their world often gets smaller whether by dementia or hearing or vision or mobility. It's hard to see that the door for them to travel the country and world has already closed or will close soon. I feel and have felt this regardless of which relatives would have liked to travel more. At least years ago they could have dreamed about it and maybe worked really hard to make it happen if it was their priority, but now they aren't even free to choose it. Maybe some of that is survivor's guilt because you are young and healthy enough to keep planning adventures.[/quote]
