my nana has cancer and her days are limited, now that she can hardly walk or do anything on her own ive jumpped in to help her, ive been staying at her house this whole week so far and she has fallen 2 times so far.. Both times i was scared shitless.. Im not good at expressing myself to others so i hold it in and let it out in si.. Im trying my hardest not to act on it but seeing her i cant help but to build up the sorrow inside. I need someone to talk to someone, anyone.. Help me relax.. I have to stay longer than i thought and i dont want to but know i need to.

Hey, you've got people here you can talk to. Try doing something with her, like painting her finger/toenails. That's what we did with my Boube-she had parkinsins, and was as stubborn as a donkey. Watch Planet's Funniest Animals on Animal Planet with her, it's funny and can lighten up the mood quite a bit! Do things together so it will distract you from SI, and her from cancer. This, will definitly help with bonding with your nana! Make dinner, clean up the house, watch a fun movie together. Bring other family members over and have a family night! Distraction, support, bonding, support!

You always have help here! Pm if you want! ;-) hugs!

Rose, this sounds like a lot to have to handle. Can you get any help with her? Who can you talk to IRL about this? Please keep coming here to vent okay?
