My grandfather is dying...?!
Question: My grandfather is dying....?
my grandfather is dying. He has a brain tumor and he only has a minimum of three months to live. He is depressed because of the loss of his wife (my grandmother). he won't take treatment because he doesn't want to prolong his own misery. I am not worried about me, I never had a strong bond with him. I'm worried about my mom. She is becoming slightly depressed, she WILL NOT see a doctor because she herself doesn't thinks she is depressed even though I found her locked in her bedroom crying. The loss of her mother was bad, and just after she finally recovered from the sadness of her mother's death, now she has this to deal with. He will be told the news this weekend. We are taking a plane to where he lives over the holiday. I'm really nervous because my mom is going to be really sad and I am the only one who can comfort her. what should I do.? What can I do to comfort her and help her through this hard time.? Health Question & Answer
