We are some of the lucky ones. DH and I have been quite self-contained for some time, with both DC living abroad and no commitments but sufficient incomes.We've quite enjoyed the peace and opportunity to enjoy our environment. However, I learned to appreciate the difficulties after an elderly relative was taken into hospital last week. His one remaining sibling can't visit as she is in her 80's with a husband with multiple problems and she is beside herself at the thought that she may never see him again.. The sole visitor he has been allowed is a cousin who feels she can now not see her own parents or grandchild because her DiL is at risk with type 1 diabetes. And yet there are thousands (millions??) out there breathing all over others without a care in the world.
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
