Just a waiting game

[Ladycrazy]

Long story short. My dad who I didnt have a close relationship with from I was 12 who has now passed his mother my grandmother is on her death bed we were never very close we spoke she never missed a birthday or Christmas gifts. Is it normally that as soon as I got the news that she was in a bad way that my heart sank I was in floods of tears. I feel silly as we weren't close so why am I this upset.

Hi Lady, I'm sorry to hear your sad news. It must have been very hard when your Dad died, especially as you weren't close to him and perhaps couldn't mourn fully.

Maybe the news of your grandmother's illness has brought back these memories, and knowing that she may not recover is making you feel helpless.

I know when anybody related to or friends of my parents died, it felt like another link to them was broken, and eventually there will be nobody left who will remember them.

Have you any real life support, hopefully somebody to share your feelings with?

I hope this helps.
