@lindaw2 I have read and reread your post contemplating whether to respond in the hopes of trying to be of help. I can relate to some of what your grandson has been through in trying to deal with one’s own depression while trying to make sense of one’s life. I too have checked myself into hospital because I was concerned for me. As scary as that was for me at least I had a moment to do the right thing. Then having to deal with hospital protocol is another matter because one is to have no contact with family or friends for a period of time. A difficult time for all.

I pray for your grandson, your family and you.🙏🏼❤️
