caring for grandma was heartbreaking💔 your stories?

those final weeks with grandma wrecked me. every time she woke confused, asking “where am i? why do i hurt?”—i’d answer, then watch her crumple. cleaning her fragile body felt like stealing her dignity; i’d give meds just to numb her before wiping tears we both cried. i prayed for her death, not from lack of love, but because i loved her. others saw calm visits—they didn’t hear her whimpers during baths or see the terror in her eyes. I grieved while she was still with us, and though I miss her terribly, I'm relieved she's no longer suffering. if you’ve held someone’s hand through unbearable pain, how do you carry this weight? 🌧️ #GriefJourney #CaregiverStruggles #LoveAndLoss
