At least you got to visit her. With the virus you are conflicted whether you should go or stay away to protect them. But old people are fading away from loneliness and depression too.
Very true, my mother is also 87, still very independent, and healthy. I'm somewhat reluctant lately to visit her because I don't want to risk exposing her to this damned virus. I interact with dozens of people daily, so far I'm fine, but I guess there is always a risk.
