Her death is affecting so many people in such a big way and I havent even began to grieve myself because I'm so worried about everyone else. My mum is a complete mess - she's been crying hysterically in to my grans cardigans and teddy bears and I've never seen her so upset before. my auntie has depression and ofr the last 3 months has dedicated her time to looking after my gran which has distracted her from her depression and now im worried that my gran has passed on, my aunt will sink in to depression again. Im scared of the affect the depression will have on her because shes tried to kill herselfi n the past and Im scared she'll do it again. Im scared about what affect that would have on my mum as well. I dont know what to say to my mum but Im really upset about seeing her this upset. I dont know what to do. I havent even cried myself yet because Im just so worried about everyone else. I dont know what to do. :( My gran was a massive part of our family and everyone is just really lost. Reply to this Question
