Currently going through the same thing with one of my khalas and my dada.

There is nothing you can do except be there for your grandmother (and of course, your parents). Always remember you’re not alone. Even though it’s difficult…spend as much time as you can with your grandfather. Make sure you grandmother has as much support as you can give (physically and emotionally). If its this hard for you…just try to imagine how she must feel.

And also, please do not hide emotions. All the feelings of frustration, hurt, anger etc…talk about how you feel with your grandmother and parents…and encourage them to talk about theirs. Bottling up all the emotions only make the situation worse.

See if there are support groups for families who’re dealing with this in your area. Believe me…talking to others in real life…and seeing with your own eyes that you’re not alone makes a difference. And if there are support groups in your area…encourage your grandmother (and parents) to join them too.

I know, always when I think how my grandmother feels, it feels wrong that Im just whining about this because even she gets upset and sad, front of my granddad she is always smiling and acting normal. She never brakes down front of him and that make me feel bad because I should be strong too.

Im really bad talking about my emotions. That`s why I think its easier to write things up, that makes me feel “easier”. I know I should talk about it, but I just cant because I always cry if I talk something about this and I just dont want to cry. And even I know Im bottling up all the emotions, I still do it. And I feel like everyone else is handling this so well, that Im gonna just depress all with my problem and its wrong. But yeah I know I should talk with someone.
