I spent the last 3 days getting my children home. I was fine with the technicalities of getting the kids home, the packing, the driving, the physical stuff. Now my husband is stuck across the border helping his ailing mother and cannot get home. He needs to be with her, there is no question about that. But now I am completely losing it. I have no idea when he might be able to return. I can hardly breathe but I am trying to put on a good face for my children. My whole body aches.

That is very very very difficult. I feel for you very much! You can do this, you will have the strength. Enjoy spending all this time with your children and making precious memories together. Facetime with your husband regularly. Date him like in the past. You got this, tough as it is. (((Hugs)))

That is so hard to be on your own now.
Even if they close the borders if he is a citizen he will be allowed in. The question is just transportation. If it’s drivable I believe citizens can still drive across borders.

Thanks everyone. He can legally come home but his mother is very ill and he is the only one in his family who can help. I completely understand that he needs to be there for her but it is stressing me to breaking point. I know we'll get through this but it is very hard to be without him.

your zoche to a big mitzva.

my father always told us he'd give everything to see his mom who passed away at 17. Because of his perspective I had my husband travel often and overseas to see his mom and sent my children. tickets; money; time; overhaul of daily life; headache

yours is greater cause its in a beyond crazy time. but you are zoche to do something great. Give yourself and husband chizzuk...

It’s hard! I’m a single mom and this is a real challenge... Hopefully your husband will be back soon
