[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM and married to a surgeon. My dad is dying and I have visited him many times during Covid. They are driving distance though.

My husband would take time off if his mom was dying. He has had colleagues take time off for a dying spouse or parent.

My friend’s friend had a parent die during Covid (also from cancer). She is not a physician but also the breadwinner and had a baby. She did not fly to see her dying father and her entire family made her feel horrible about it except the dying parent. She did fly for the funeral during peak of covid.

It is heartbreaking to lose a loved one. Covid made it so much more difficult. Think of all who couldn’t have visitors and died alone in the hospital.

DH’s hospital did not allow visitors. I could not visit my father in the hospital or at rehab. I could only see him when he came home.[/quote]

You’re just a SAHM so why are you commenting?[/quote]

I was offering sympathy. I was saying it is hard to lose a loved one but covid made it so much worse. I was saying even though I have time to visit my dad, I was not able to visit him in the hospital after surgery or at the rehab center. I was trying to make OP feel better.[/quote]
