Really struggling with this latest wave of guilt and grief. They’re hitting less frequently but the waves never seem to shrink. I know i cant change it, but im thinking of the last time I saw him. He was scared, thinking about it now, but at the time i didnt see it. I should have comforted him. Hugged him. Give him a bigger kiss on the cheek . But I was grumpy, and tired. Put out and ungrateful. Wish I could go back and have been better for him in the final hours. I didnt know they were his final hours. We just didnt know. Im so sorry Gramps xx
Hello @Gwb ,
I’m part of the Online Community team and I can see that you are new to the community - I’d like to thank you for bravely starting this thread and sharing how you are feeling. I’m so sorry to hear about your grandfather. Most community members have sadly experienced the death of a loved one and so will understand some of what you are going through.
I’m sure someone will be along to offer their support, but I wanted to share a few Sue Ryder resources with you that might be helpful.
