And there wasn't anybody around, not a soul. I kept saying to myself, I need to see a familiar face because I have nobody. There's no other family, brothers or sisters. And I watched my mom sleeping, and my grandma was asleep. And I thought, this is it. Like, this is how it's going to be. This quiet. And they're both gone. And that quiet I wasn't okay with

If that's not an option, if there's not a care manager with the insurance company that you can speak with about that, another option would be to look into community resources that offer respite resources, maybe calling searching local churches or your local social services offices. And then, if that's not helpful, getting on social media outlets such as Caregiver.com, where there's people that have been background checked and screened that you can trust, maybe looking at your budget to say, I need 2 hours

Hey, I just heard your reply. Thank you for that. That's really sweet. It's really nice of you to say. It was nice to hear. I did look into that. And since that post, my grandma has passed and everything and dealing with everything after that now it's hard. It's hard to do this whole caregiving thing and deal with settling the estate and funeral arrangements and everything else, but I did it and I'm doing it still

Be patient and kind and gentle with yourself. Grief is a lifelong process. I lost my father in 2016, so it will show up differently every day and throughout the day. I just wanted to add, since you Jared, that your grandmother has transitioned my condolences to you, and I will. It's definitely sending you and your family lots of light and peace
