My grandfather is in pallative care at the moment and will be leaving my family anytime. Ever since I visited him and saw him, I can t stop thinking of death and when my parents will die, and losing them. I m crying non-stop, and I can t stop thinking of these thoughts. I m scared, upset and having panic or anxiety attacks. What can I do?
I know that this situation you are living is really hard. Its expected that you feel sad and worried, but you can face the panic and anxiety attacks. I suggest you to take your time, go to some quiet place, like your room, pay attention on your feelings, take a paper and try to write, in topics, what really makes you feel bad. If your problem is when your parents will die, try to think what, in this case, makes you feel bad. For example, to be alone. Try to face your personal and psychological difficulties. After writing your fears, rip the paper and imagine that, At this moment, you start to face your fears. And keep on this way.
