My 91 year old FIL is cognitively very independent, but physically not doing well at all. He still lives on his own. We’ve been making the 5 hour one way drive once a week to spend 3-4 days with him at home and while he’s in hospital. We’ve set up in home care when we’re not here. We’re conflicted whether or not to go through with our trip.
Not to make bones about it - how would you (or more to the point, your husband) feel if you had just got to your destination and then received the news that he had passed away?
Enjoy!
