Thanks for sharing, and I couldn’t agree more. Today’s hustle culture is so ‘me me me’, lacks empathy and humanity, it’s sad that sometimes it takes a tragedy to remind us of our common humanity.

Katie, this article is beautiful. Having gone through this (my wife and I) with all four parents and now having a sibling very ill, you perfectly captured the emotional roller coaster.

And, loving thoughts to all of you. Your grandmother is lucky to be surrounded by such caring.

Thank you for the kind words, John. I am sorry you are so familiar with the feeling. Sending happy loving thoughts to you and yours as well. It helps to know we aren't alone in these situations.

I truly believe kindness and empathy could end wars and save relationships. Wishing your grandmother and family strength and wellness during this time.
