I think you should tell your Grandfather that. He needs to hear it from his family move over his doctors. Some of his anxiety and what is probably overwhelming him right now could be thoughts of his family and how this will affect others. So yes. Absolutely. It's not redundant at all :)
As for the fear/anxiety that you're having, its a common thing that a lot of people have (I do sometimes; I too have had the same thought of dying before everyone else so I don't have to deal). But at the extent you're having it, counseling might want to be something you should do some research on. I hear of it helping more and more people today - friends that I never thought needed it.
Besides, it seems very specific with you and it looks like you KNOW where its stemming from; the incident with Josh sounds very feasible. Maybe just a little help in the right direction is all you need, especially if its recurring. I've thought of it myself, just for your garden variety panic attacks (and if they were more frequent, I probably would; I've gotten much better within the past year).
It's just a matter of finding the right person/doctor to talk to. Thats probably the hard part ...
Eh. this reply is getting long; shoulda emailed ya. Let me know if ya wanna talk about it.
