Advice please.
So I know this is the internet but you guys all seem fairly level headed.
As some of you know I’m in NYS at the moment as my father passed away. I’m staying until the end of March because my mother has endometrial cancer and kept putting off her surgery because my dad was sick. So now I’m here as the one to make her go to appointments and to her surgical appointment over the next 2 weeks.
I can’t leave. I can’t. She won’t get the surgery. Yes there are cousins and whatnot here but she will literally cancel and refuse to go. At the same time I’m panicking I’ll never see my husband and kids again (they are home in BC) because there’s all this talk of potential border shutdowns and lockdowns and whatnot.
I can’t leave but I’m afraid if I don’t I won’t be able to.
Can someone give me some advice, an internet face slap, maybe an internet hug, or perhaps some calming words?
How worried should I be?
Hi all. My father passed away this weekend and I have to fly home for his funeral. Normally it would take place within 24 hours but my mom explained to our rabbi that I need to fly in from BC so it’s set for Tuesday.
I’m normally a fairly level headed but I’m suddenly terrified of flying with this virus seemingly everywhere. Driving is not an option as I’m headed to NY.
Am I be panicky and it’ll be fine or no? Sorry, my brain is a little over stressed from this news about my dad and the lack of sleep I’ve experienced worrying about my mom.
Thanks for understanding.
B.C. RCMP consult with hate crime specialists after anti-Semitic graffiti found at Jewish camp
Gabriola Island RCMP say they've launched a criminal investigation after swastikas and other disturbing graffiti was discovered on a building at a Jewish summer camp earlier this month.
A caretaker found the vandalism on the side of a building at Camp Miriam on Dec. 19, and notified the police.
"RCMP take matters such as these very seriously," RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jesse O'Donaghey said in a press release.

This is at Camp Miriam. My oldest was really looking forward to finally getting to go this summer. It’s a wonderful Jewish summer camp from what I hear. Very much needed as Jews in BC are usually fairly scattered and there aren’t many Jewish communities outside of Vancouver.
