Hi friends. I’m not really sure what I’m wanting to ask... 😅
I guess I’m looking for some tips, advice, or...maybe handy things you’ve learned about grief.
As many of you know, my grandma has been fighting cancer. We’ve been very fortunate to have almost a whole year with her since her diagnosis, but her doctor decided hospice would be the best option for her now. She’s been staying with us for a couple of weeks and various hospice people have been helping for a few days. While they said we could be looking at weeks, my mom and I just kind of know it’s my grandma’s time and it will likely just be a few more days if we’re lucky.
Anyway. I’m coping okay with all of this hard stuff at the moment. She’s been hurting and fighting for a long time. But my grandma helped raise me and her and my mom are the two people I’m closest to. I’m more so going to struggle with the “permanence” of it all when it happens and little things like the trips we never got to take, not being able to visit her, or the fact that she’ll never meet my kids or be at my wedding one day or get to see me buy a house or something. Idk. I’ve been very fortunate not to have lost anyone I’m this close to until this point in my life. I guess I’m just looking for things to know and wisdom that’ll be helpful from those who’ve experience their own losses.
This is probably a weird and uncomfortable post 😅 Anything any of you would be willing to share is greatly appreciated. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of the kind words, thoughts, prayers, and support. 💖 It’s meant the world to me to have some sense of friendship and community despite my frequent and long absences from Tumblr.
