My great aunt died (T&P's needed)

I just found out today that my great aunt was found dead in her house. I was worried my grandma (her sister) was the one that found her, but my cousin told me she didn't and that even after finding out she died she forgot about an hour later. She's the one I wrote about who is suffering from Alzheimer's and wandered from her house.

So now, I'm debating if I want to make the trip to Virginia for the funeral when that is all set up. If I did, it would only be a Friday and then I would come back after but with a newborn, I'm leaning towards staying here. I know my family understands my dilemma but I feel like I should be there.

Anyway, I just need your T&P's especially for my grandma. They were super close and I'm worried about her wellbeing.

Re: My great aunt died (T&P's needed)

  • I am so sorry to hear of your great aunt's passing.  I am sure your family understands your situation, and think it is most definitely ok if you don't travel...esp with baby Preston still needing his mama!

    Maybe you could send a donation to an Alzheimer's research foundation in her memory.  That would be very meaningful IMO.
