I'm taking care of my two parents who are in their mid-90s which means back and forth to the Emergency Ward for a lot of age-related emergency conditions. Otherwise - we've been in isolation since March because we live in a virus hot-spot. Almost everyday all I have to look forward to for some escapism and relief is the new products in the DAZ3D store, the forum community here, and my 3D art. So THANK YOU all!

I hope you'll get through this safely with your parents!
Yes the forums is a good place to go to get some distraction, and using the stuff from the shop even more
good luck and best wishes
Keep on trucking. Let's hope for a better 2021.
I agree, the community is amazing here. Daz Studio has been instrumental in helping me cope with the situation and retaining what is left of my sanity too.
All the best in 2021, let's hope it is a better year than this one.
Yes, bless this community - and keep it friendly, and (mostly) positive!
It has been a blessing for me, also.
Agreed, being able to create "purty" pictures, vist the forums, and look at all the great creations (and sometimes buy some awesome stuff) has helped me through several difficult times.
Hang in there, it' can be difficult talking care of your parents as they age, and doing it during the current times is even more difficult. Having a bit of "me" time can help so much, and really is a must. I'm glad you are able to use DAZ products and the community here to alleviate some of the stress. I'm always amazed at how much it can help me.
Also try remember that your parents can be wonderful gifts to be treasured while they are still with us. It's difficult taking care of them , and even more difficult to watch their health decline. Try to think of the isolation as a unique opportunity to spend time with them. I lost my dad 8 years ago, and my mom 2 months ago. Loosing my mom has been very difficult, I miss our daily talks, and during the day I'll make mental notes "Mom will like to know that" then remember I can't talk to her in the evening. So even though the isolation and taking care of aging parents is difficult, try to take few minutes each day and think of the good things (the little things, smiling together, laughing, sharing). It also helps if you can change any thoughts of feeling obligated to take care of them into feeling fortunate to spend time with them. In one of the last conversations I had with my Mom she said she was sorry I had to be there with her (in the hospital), and I told her I was glad could be there and spend time with her (because I was). That made us both feel better!
Just remember taking care of you is just as important as taking care of your parents! Set some time aside every day for you, that can make a huge difference (sounds like you already are, but a friendly reminder is always good).
Thanks for this. I especially needed to hear it this week. The hospital my mom is in is more protected than Alcatraz durring this COVID lockdown.
Glad you found it helpful. It must be extremely difficult to comply with all the regulations and to be able to visit loved ones at the hospitals now. While my mom was in the hospital it went from one visitor at a time (you had to check in and check out at the front desk) to one visitor per day. My mom's general outlook declined when she was only able to have one visitor a day. I understood the reasoning to try to protect patients and staff as covid numbers increased, but it;s definitely hard for the patients (and family).
Hang in there, take care, and enjoy what time you have with them.
best wishes to your family and you. May your parents recover swiftly.
Well, things must be REALLY bad - the hospital put my mother in an ambulance and sent her home. They said she was FAR less likely to catch the virus. The hospital is actually sending doctors and nurses to the house, as needed.
The hospital has at least a dozen uniformed security guards at every entry-point. They've even blocked off all entryways into the parking lot.
May you and your parents be safe and healthy.
I thank you all as well. I'm my Mom's roomate and helper. she is 82. It's very scary right now. I totally understand. My Mom fell down a couple days ago. Good thing it was not serious. She didn't have to go to the ER. She is doing better. i agree, If it was not for Daz, Art, Games, and other forms. It would be much harder. This community is always a welcome place over the 17 years I have been a part of it.
