Depression Support Group
Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
So, my grandma is in the hospital right now. She may or may not be getting out tomorrow. The plans keep changing. It sounds as if she's getting an x-ray in the morning. She has heart failure. Her heart is operating at only 30%. Last I heard they might be starting her on some medications to improve her heart. My uncle David is coming into town tonight to see her. That is one of my dad's 5 brothers.
The only good news I have right now, is that I get to see my best friend next Sunday (the 25th). We are going out to lunch and then going to a movie it sounds like. We should have lots of fun.

Have fun with your friend!
GBU AND YOUR GRANDMOM

After about a month she talked to both her daughter and me (separately) about it. She feared that something would happen and we would kick her out.
Listen to what she says, what she doesn't say. Listen with your head and your heart. No matter how much you all love one another it will be a time of HUGE adjustment.
Keep the lines of communication open. Your first stop to talk about frustrations is with your parents! They are the ones to be the emotional gate keepers. Level with them, but understand that your grandmother can never unhear anything you say. She may not understand your venting like your parents will.
Gentle hugs
