I was doing very good the last two weeks, and I recently have been told that my grandfather was on life support. Two days ago, they pulled the plug for life support and now he is at hospice care. I saw him today, and I could not believe what is happening to him. Currently, he is on his death bed, and I have a feeling he'll only have a few days left which absolutely kills me. I had to say my goodbye's and I told him I loved him and I was happy that he was in my life... Ever since COVID started it was very hard to see him at the nursing home. I wish I got to spend time with him but it's too late. I don't even know what to say or feel at the moment. I'm in complete denial however... it hurts me badly that I have to watch a family member struggle and be in pain in their final moments... This sucks so much and I am unsure what to do right now.

i’m so so sorry to hear this, and the pain you’re going through. sending all my thoughts and prayers to you and your grandfather. i know that i’m not him, but i’m certain that he loved you very much, and was so happy to have you in his life as well. and i’m so proud of you because i know seeing him was very hard for you. if you need some support, feel free to message me. ❤️
The sad reality is that there’s not much you can do. I’m happy that you at least got the opportunity to say goodbye. I know it doesn’t feel like enough but it’s better than nothing. The hospice workers will do what they can to make his last few days comfortable. I’m sorry you’re in such a rough situation. Sending my love. ❤️
