I don't live with DP, we live 1.5 hours apart. He lives with his parents (as do I). His nan, who has been battling dementia for the past 5 years, is seriously ill in hospital with a chest infection. She has been moved to a private room, and it's not looking good. She has not been aware of the world for some time, does not speak, but DP has been to visit her almost every week since she went into a nursing home 3 years ago.
How can I support DP when I'm so far away from him? I am unemployed so can go to him whenever, for as long as he needs me. I get on well with his parents and brothes and stay 1-2 nights every weekend, but I doubt they'll want me there during grieving. What can I do to support him? I want so desperately to get the next train to him.
