I… I don't understand why I feel relieved. My grandparent passed last month, and logically, I know I should be experiencing grief, but... there's just this incredible lightness. The constant guilt, the logistical gymnastics of their appointments, the daily phone calls interrupting my actual job, the feeling that I was perpetually failing both my kids AND them—it's just GONE. And it’s… concerning. This isn't how it should be.
