My grandmother is constantly nervous. She is always saying how her nerves are a wreck. I feel horrible and don’t know how to calm and make things less nerve wracking. I know it’s affecting her overall health.

Things she used to love doing now just give her anxiety. Like having dinner up at my uncles house was something she loved…today she was a complete wreck. We have a somewhat big family and she loves us, but when we try to get together for her she just becomes a nervous mess. 

She had a stroke about 4 years ago and wasn’t supposed to live, but did. She never got back to her 100% self. One of those things me and my family noticed is that she is very anxious. 

My pap died this year and I think that has made it worse as she is now alone. 

We can usually gauge her nervousness on how fast her leg is bouncing while seated. Lately it’s nonstop. 

I just want her to be okay and to be able to enjoy whatever time is left. 

Any help, advice, articles, is welcomed. 

(Sometimes her being so nervous makes us all on edge)
