Nan

Hi was my nans best friend did everything for her cared for her (her daughter my mum had dementia and cancer her other daughter my auntie was in a wheelchair and blind) so nan only had me when she was rushed to hospital I was there(alone) her heart stopped they rushed me out 10 mins later Dr came in said they got her heart started but she was relying on drugs to keep it going I had to make decision to withdraw nans drugs which I don't regret but I feel so guilty then 6 months later I lost both my mum and aunt within days of each other my mum had had dementia for 6years I am struggling with the fact that I'm grieving more for my nan than my mum

 

  • Ime so sorry dont feel guilty hold your head up high you did more than could have been expected ime not a professional but in a way you have slowly lost your mum over six years and in a way have already greived to a point your nan was very quick you didnt have time to come to terms i lost my partner very suddenly and even thoe now i cant have done more at the time it felt like i had failed her by not saving her from cancer with grief seems to come guilt the what ifs is truely the worst words in the human language but this guilts just your mind running on emotion not lodgic it will go but takes time when these intrusive thoughts come into your think of a great thing you did its breaking that cycle .maybe try some counciling talking to a professional may alay your guilt just take it easy it gets eisier as time goes by.
