One More Cross to Bear

I firmly believe that all adults who do anything dangerous (like, oh, say, living) should have a medical power of attorney. Something to say, "If I can't make decisions for myself, I want Person X to make them for me."

That said, please - when you set up the medical power of attorney, TELL the person you choose that they are the one you are

Now I feel double-plus-bad about my dithering. But never mind that. I know this is an Atlas-sized load, but yes, you're truly the only one in the family both competent and equipped enough to handle it. In a breathe-easy moment, you can take pride in that.

More importantly? The first thing I see is that it means Grandma trusts you completely, and let there be no doubt, that's not a gift she gives out lightly - no matter her state. While I'm pained for you that this is the place you're in, I'm grateful that your grandmother has someone both intelligent and compassionate enough to truly make the best decisions possible.

More to the point, I'm grateful she has you. I'm grateful we all do.
