Awaiting the ultimate
Hello,
My grandmother is finally in the stage where we had to put her in hospice. She is my heart and i know that I can't be selfish and keep her here. Not like i could any way. I am trying to prepare myself as best I can. I can't eat or sleep, she is all i think about i kept trying to imagine life without her and i immediately start to have a panic attack. I lost my best friend in 2021, I lost my other best friend in 2022. My grand dad passed last month before thanksgiving. Now dealing with grandma. I am literally functionally crazy. I beg God to please give me a break after this. I try to comfort myself knowing she will be free and not trapped in this diease. I just pray that her transition will not be the last straw that makes me completely crack. I literally don't have anymore emotional capacity.

Hi Raffy I'm sorry. You've had a tough time and having a loved family member go through this is very difficult. Please find someone you can talk to, be it a family member, clergy, or doctor. It's important to have support.
