Hopefully your granddaughter will help your health anxiety. You have something to look forward to. I admit I don't know much about health anxiety but babies seem to bring out the best in us. Fingers crossed you can enjoy her. HUGS and BLESSINGS!

Oh I’m so sorry. Hang in there. I know it’s hard to enjoy things when there’s huge worries. But it can definitely get better! Maybe baby will help. Congratulations!Being a grandma is beautiful.

I truly understand. I often have those same fears myself about not being able to be here to see my own kids grow up and to be able to enjoy life with them. It's an emotional baggage that drains you. And it's sad because we will have believed our own thoughts and be convinced it's what's really going to happen. I wish you well. And that you still put your foot forward towards enjoying time with your granddaughter. ❤🙏🏾

I felt this post too I have a 2 year old granddaughter and I think the same when I look at her hope I’m going to be around to see her grow up...then I also think I don’t deserve her because of my health anxiety until I also realised that my beautiful granddaughter loves me regardless of my anxiety and depression whatever floors I have she loves me no matter what she loves me a lot more than her mum does put it that way...but the greatest mums get promoted to grandma’s yes being a grandma is very rewarding and fabulous I love it too xxx

OK, time to take stock.Yes you probably will die before her...would you want it any other way?But in the meantime you have a beautiful granddaughter, what a blessing! Concentrate on being with her every chance you get and focus on that moment.Enjoy!
