I totally agree! I’m sure it wasn’t a burden to you to take care of your beautiful wonderful grandma but it’s not anyone who has the compassion, selflessness, kindness and patience to dedicate your youth to caring for another person. I’m not exaggerating when I say you are so rare and have so much knowledge and wisdom to give the world. There are so many people that are in your situation that can’t handle it or abandon loved ones. I myself live with so much regret not being more involved in several of my loved ones’ care when they were sick with terminal illnesses, all because I was young and selfish. I and so many others could learn a lot from your experiences and views on compassion and love.

Thank you for sharing this. I wanted to say- I also was close to my grandmother (my grandfather is still alive) and two weeks after she died I had dreamt of her and it really felt like she came to me because she was wearing what she was buried in and was in all white (her dress and blazer are actually pink) it was so strange and upsetting but also happy and freeing after she told me she would watch over me throughout my life. I’m not sure if this has happened to you, but I believe God is real and I was given this interaction with my grandmother for closure. I still look to her for guidance much how similarly you talk to your grandparents and parents from time to time. Death isn’t the end, and in my short 30 years of life, I’m deeply grateful for God allowing me to live, and to love those I deem important to me.

It's been 16 months since my mom passed. I was her caretaker. Chris, just ride the waves of grief and put no time limit on it. Talk it out as you are doing. Work through it. Eventually the sadness and pain will switch to positive memories with occasional grief bursts. Figure out your triggers. I still haven't reached the positive memories stage but am now having the grief bursts so I am close and definitely feel that I have worked through a lot. You are doing what you should do....go at your own pace. You and Grandma have been big blessings to me in helping me through my grief. Thank you for sharing her with us and for continuing to share your experience and grief with us. I have been grieving her too.

The calmness and relief that you felt was God letting you know she was with him. I had that same feeling. It’s been almost 4 years and I go on with my life, but never forget the life I had with her.

I got out of church this morning and when all I wanted to do was cry and find something to distract myself and numb my mind. Your video popped up and the first thing you did was remind me that even when grieving God is bigger and better and has a plan. Praying for peace for you and your family.

Chris.....I worked in nursing homes and long term care for many, many years. It's a weird phenomenon, but, for some reason when a person is severely ill, they rally the day before they pass and start to look and feel better, eat better, and on and on. They even call it the death rally. I've witnessed it more times than I care to ever remember. But, it always looked to me that God was beginning to give them their peace in this world before they passed thru to the next. I just always saw it that way. Hopefully that gives you some peace of mind. Her glory started the whole day before she passed. For you and you family to bare witness. Just think how peaceful that was for her. God bless!

My brother passed away from covid in 2021. He was 42. It took him quickly, but we had the same experience where his condition improved, and then he passed the next day. I was his caregiver as he had special needs, I provided respite care so my parents could go out once a week, but I spent way more time with him than that. Your dedication and love for her are evident, and love never dies. It continues even after they're gone. You are an amazing young man. ❤️

Chris sure is amazing. He’s an exceptional human being. I live with and care for my almost 97 yr old mother. I have what I now know is called “anticipatory grief”… but one thing my mother always tells me is that she believes when it’s your time, it’s your time. When your time comes, that’s when you go. We don’t know when that will be. But we all have our time to go. It’s so sad, but… yeah. Anyway. Chris has been so, so much of an inspiration as a role model for loving caregiving. God love that young man. 🥹

Mind you, you know she’s with you, watching over you from Heaven 😊. I send you much Light and Love for your next steps Chris. I think you would be great at helping out the Carers out there. Perhaps writing a book about Grandma and you. Advocating for care for our seniors. Advising on how to plan days and finances etc. I also think you would be a great Physiotherapist focusing on elderly people. We all loved your Grandma, be assured of that. Xxx

Thankfully hospice had given us a brochure that explained everything to expect. It happened fast for us. My cousin said something beautiful…he said “When we share joy there is twice as much joy, when we share grief there’s only half as much grief. We are meant to share life with each other.” I am so very sorry for your loss. Just know that you are not alone in your grief. I hope that things get easier in time.
