It gives me anxiety that I won’t be able to see my grandfather since he doesn’t have much time left. Everyone in my family has been able to see him to say their goodbyes except for me. It makes me upset to be coming back to work before even being allowed time to see my dying grandfather. I understand it wouldn’t be professional of me to be granted even more time off. However, I’m not being allowed time to recover to see my grandfather and it worries me I won’t be able to see him while I’m at work. Am I overreacting? What should I do?
