In November 2023, she died, and I can't shake the guilt I feel for moving away.
AdvertisementAfter my grandfather died in February 2020, I moved into my grandmother's house in Manchester, England, to care for her.
At the time, I'd just embarked on my freelance-journalism career, and I was already working from home before the pandemic lockdowns.
I moved in May 2023, and despite my excitement, I felt guilty about leaving her from the second I left.
