It sounds to me like you're having trouble with grief. You were doing ok before your grandfather died, and now you're struggling.

I'd suggest talking to a grief counselor. They're great about helping you get thru the grieving process. There are 5 stages of grief: Shock, Anger, Depression, Bargaining, and Acceptance. Most of us go thru all these stages, although when my husband died, I seemed to have skipped the "bargaining" phase.

You can get ahold of a grief counselor thru your local Hospice. They'll be happy to talk to you. There MIGHT be a fee involved, but I don't know for sure. Call and talk to them. I wish you the very best. Please let us know how things go. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
Thanks for this!
