The Struggle of Letting Go: A Dream About a Dying Grandmother

The Struggle of Letting Go: A Dream About a Dying Grandmother
My grandma was near death and I carried her down stairs that were too steep and difficult for almost anyone. She drove in a keep with me but was out of control because she was dying. We nearly crashed but stopped and she got out and was loading her wheel chair with lots of random possessions. She sped off to the bathroom and we ended up in china somehow. I asked some ladies if they saw where she went. They pointed down a dark hall...I walked in and found her vomiting up water and looking like death. She had fallen over. I go to pick her up and she attacks my face saying you have to eat me!
