Full of emotions : trans-Tasman travel bubble to let families finally grieve, rejoice and hug | New Zealand

Last modified on Tue 6 Apr 2021 23.37 EDT For Nicole Haines, it’s a chance to begin the grieving process. In June last year, her mother in Sydney died suddenly and unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm. “It was just heart-wrenching,” says Haines, an Australian based in Christchurch for the past 10 years. With two children and an elderly aunt living with her, she couldn’t afford the time and cost of staying two weeks in quarantine on the return trip. But when the opening of a trans-Tasman travel bubble was announced on Tuesday, she was finally able to book a flight for her and her daughter to Sydney. “I feel like walking through my mum’s front door for the first time, it’s like starting the grieving process. I have grieved here, but haven’t really cried much, because I haven’t got anything substantial to feel her,” Haines says. “It was really quite overwhelming when I heard the news yesterday.”
