A little tension

This morning my sister got so emotional and she wants to go home to our province and take the risk to stay at the quarantine center for two weeks just to be with her son. We tried to console her and told her that she needs to wait a little longer so as not to risk her health and also her job. We saw the center and it was not really convenient and even conducive for living. We just hope that after the lastest extension and modification of guidelines, the home quarantine will already be allowed. How do you deal with a family member with this kind of situation?

Hear also same situation.. Due to lock down no one not possible to go out.. So no need to restrict them.. They alone follow..

With all the extensions and all, we cannot really help but be emotional especially when our kids are not living with us. But we have to endure for now.

It's hard to be away from your child. But good thing you were able to console her.

@cherriefic She is. My mother back home keeps on re-assuring us though that her son and my daughter and okay. We cannot really help but worry and miss our kids that much especially it has been more than 2 long months since our last visit. Yes, she feels better now. Thank you:)

Really hard, especially when all these starts to sink in. Sometimes we just need to cry it out to lessen the burden.

That would be really tough for her. I hope she is able to stick it out just a little longer.

Yeah, we're keeping her more entertained and talk to her more often so she can endure a little more. Thanks.

So true, it's really hard. The only consolation for now is we have video calls.
