RIP Elisabeth Klopp

My own dear Mum is slipping away - mind you we all thought she would succumb to pneumonia 12 months ago.

She is closer to 94 than 93, but I will really miss her when she eventually goes to meet my Dad and brother..

As a Christian, I offer Mr Klopp my empathy and sincere condolences. In Ireland we can attend the funeral but limited to 10 in the church.

I presume it's the travelling between Britain and Germany that's the problem, not the physical act of being at the funeral. My cousin's funeral last week was attended by his immediate family and a bunch of other people.

Surely there has to be some dispensation given for extreme circumstances like this, i don't just mean for Klopp but for anyone whos immediate family (parents) have passed.

Sadly what exceptions that do exist tend to exist for those in Schengen. We're not only outside of that but also somewhere with a virulent variation of the virus.

Having said that, there do appear to be possible exceptions for funerals https://www.bmi.bund.de/SharedDocs/...estriction-border-control-list.html#f14104798

People who can't see a link between losing a parent (with the added stress of not being able to attend the funeral) and being even more angry and erratic than usual have either never lost a parent or are devoid of any compassion.

I didn't think this thread was necessary when I saw it started (Mainly because I worried what certain posters might say) but seeing as it has, let's keep it classy.

I haven’t seen this, that’s my point.

My brother lives in Switzerland. He got home to see Mum but had to isolate himself in a hotel, have a negative test result on arrival in Dublin, another one after 6 days before he was allowed into the nursing home. He has gone back now, and realistically won't make the funeral because of all the isolation restrictions.

On the odd occasion when I get to see her I must wear head to toe PPE, so the poor creature probably doesn't know who I am. Unfortunately, the reality is that we need to say our farewells probably some time before our dearest pass.
