How to get through it
Though it is difficult, you have to avoid getting caught in the trap of thinking, “This could be the day my parent passes away, so I can’t travel.” Your elderly parent could still live for another decade. You cannot live every day, for ten years, this way. If you have a good relationship, that won’t be erased all because something happened to your parent while you were traveling. It’s a very complex and serious thought—the thought of your parent passing away while you’re on a trip—but it’s a thought that you cannot allow to control your life. Or your marriage.
