Grief

I watched as doctors tried to resuscitate my grandmother after a heart attack for several minutes and saw her mouth agape body after. We knew this second heart attack was imminent and there was no recourse, but my family chose to not take her off the machines keeping her going and let her try to fight. That was a vicious way to see someone to go and I would never tell them, but I cannot fathom that is what she would have wanted for herself. I am completely shaken by this.

What you witnessed sounds incredibly distressing and painful. Seeing someone you love in such a vulnerable state, especially during an emergency like that, can be deeply shocking and unsettling.

It’s understandable that you feel shaken by what happened. Experiences like this can leave a strong emotional impact, and it’s okay to have complicated or heavy feelings about it.

You don’t have to carry this alone. If you want to share more about what you’re feeling or what’s been staying with you since then, I’m here to listen.
