My beautiful Mum is fighting with Covid for the last two weeks.
I have been told two days after I moved back to my house by my sister that my mum has Covid and she is in the stage of worry about her lungs. This news was like I hit by a bus, I was shattered, and I knew I could not do anything. I felt useless, and I thought I did not do anything for her. What if I lose her? I haven’t seen her for two years.
I even thought to go back and stay with her, but it was an emotional decision, and I won’t be able to get back to my daughters for 5/6 months. I still can not think properly. Last two days, I was thinking about so many scenarios and how hard it is to be away from my family.
This morning I got the text from her, which was like a miracle, she is in a better stage, and she can send me a text. She is in good hands. My immediate family are in the frontline healthcare and looked after her so well, and I am so grateful for that.
I wanted to share with you as we all are busy and sometimes we forgot to tell our partners how much we love them, if you live in the same city or country with your parents go and see them or if you are away from them like me make sure you send them text more often,
tell them how much you love them.
I need the time to get back to normal, and I think it's so essential to realise when we need a break and not to be hard to ourselves.
