[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 741449, member: 23371"] Nothing I can say that others haven't or that you haven't said to yourself. Go for the lifelines, your husband and younger son. I'm sure they've leaned on you and now it's time to reverse that. As for your grandson...I have some suggestions when you have more time and clarity to focus on him. There is hope there. But right now he's stable and others aren't. Suggest you focus on one issue at a time. It sounds like you're overwhelmed which means its time to prioritize and focus on one or two of the many issues. You are top focus, your own programs. Second you need to choose though it sounds like it may be your sister. Perhaps there is some kind of comfort you can offer to her that would also help you through this. Perhaps you could just sit with her reading to her, talking to her, singing or just playing her favorite music. Grief is at many levels, for what she can't do now, her uncertain future, her missing husband,...whether she feels this too or its just your grief, being with her may help both of you. You can't do anything for your oldest. Nothing minute to minute for your grandson. But for yourself and your sister perhaps you can, perhaps that is where your time and focus should be. These are just my thoughts from the very limited information I know. [/QUOTE]
