How to support a mother who lost her grandmother
The other day, I lost my grandmother, who lives in her hometown.
Living apart, I kept in touch as much as possible because I wanted to support my mother by listening to her talk about her nursing after my grandmother was hospitalized.
My grandmother passed away about 2 weeks after visiting her hospital bed because she wanted them to visit her now.
Less than a few months after being hospitalized, my mother took a break from work and stayed overnight at the end of her life.
I received the death report and rushed a long way.
I witnessed my mother's deep sorrow over and over until the funeral was over.
I myself intend to say goodbye to my grandmother in my heart from now on, and I intend to hold a memorial service at a milestone.
However, my mother's sorrow was more than I could have imagined, and even though I gradually returned to my daily life after the funeral, my heart seems to burst when I think about my mother's heart.
Is that the difference between my grandmother, who was my grandmother when I was born, and my mother was an old mother?
I want to tell them that we'll do a memorial service for my grandmother together, so I'm planning to go back to Hatsubon as well.
How can I be close to my mother to support her?
