So, I've been reading a X-mas present from my parents which is my mother's father's autobiography, effectively. I never really felt like I knew him very well, and this is sorta changing that, in a weird kind of way.

And I just got email from my mom mentioning things like him asking for a DNR[1], and him being in the hospital (again), and such.

Unlike a bit over a year ago, when my father's mother died, I actually _do_ feel like I have a sense of, and therefore connection to, my maternal grandfather. Entirely because of the bibliography, though. I don't really have a sense of him _now_. I'm sort of in a weird emotional state right now.

I have mixed reactions :

1) Is it wise to go in that direction right now when you're tired, wrung out and unhappy?

2) Is it wise to *not* go in that direction with him in the hospital again right now?

I can well understand you'd be in a weird state right now.

Yep. Precisely.
