Passing of Family Member

I just joined this community. My grandma sadly passed away today. The way I found out was that my dad told me as I was just waking up from my nap. But I couldn't help but think about how he announced it to me. It was like he just told me casually and with no emotion. Then he just went on with his day as usual which I thought was odd. However I feel guilty for not spending more time with my grandma before her passing. She was battling cancer but due to her age (she is in her mid to late 90s) she couldn't do treatment. I wished the senior living center where my grandma was staying at gave updates to her health in her final days and we were invited to see her one last time. She was the only grandma I had left, but she could hardly remember me as she also had dementia. Her passing comes at an inconvenience when I have so much going on in my life.

I am sorry for your loss

when a person is very ill and treatment not an option sounds like your dad had already processed this happening and that is why it seemed like no emotion in telling you. 

what was holding you back from visiting as it sounds like the end was near .... it is not the responsibility of a home to invite you to visit... unless you have different rules and items where you live. 

Most deaths are not timed for convenience to your life.

I think what was holding me back was I was so busy in working my last job just so I could excel in my career
