I feel like I should be grateful but I don't want to see them go

I’m lucky enough to have had my great grandparents my whole childhood. I’m currently 20. They’re getting up there in years and in the past month my great grandmother has been to the hospital twice. She isn’t doing the greatest. She said she’ll do her best to hang on because now she has a great great grandkid on the way. I don’t know how much longer she can keep going. As far as I know she’s okay with going and has no fear of death. But I’m selfish and I don’t want her to go. I have a feeling that once she goes great grandpa won’t be too far behind. I feel like I should just feel lucky for the time I’ve had and I do and I’m grateful but I’m not ready yet.

There is no rule saying who you are and aren’t allowed to mourn. Nobody is ever ready to lose their loved ones. You are allowed to be upset and miss them.

It’s ok to not want to let them go. It’s normal to feel that way.
