Q: My grandmother is in hospice in another state and my father told me I don’t have to go see her but I feel guilty. What should I do?
A: If your grandmother is beyond taking a phone call from you, you might want to write her a note and see if another family member could read it to her. You could text it to a member of your family. It can be a loving remembrance of knowing her and the special times you did have together. Chances are likely your grandmother would not want you to be guilt-ridden, as that only hurts you.
Although you are geographically distant, you can always send her love and put a beautiful golden light around her. Remember we are all energy beings, and this can help you feel an energetic closeness to her. Even if she is in and out of consciousness, she will know the message read to her is from you. It is my wish that this gives you comfort during this difficult time. You will be able to cherish the memories you have had with your grandmother for many years to come. It’s important that you choose to focus on this rather than guilt as it serves no purpose.
