My grandma is being put on hospice and I would like to crochet a blanket for her casket… is this too morbid? TW:hospice, illness, grandparent passing

I don’t know if this is appropriate to put here but I wasn’t sure where else to put it.

My grandma got sick a few days ago and due to some recent health issues and her Alzheimer’s, my mom and grandpa decided to put her on hospice. When I was younger, my grandma and I were really close. She is someone I still deeply admire for her struggles and kindness.

As I’ve gotten older and her Alzheimer’s has progressed I’m ashamed to say I’ve visited her less and less, it’s hard to visit her when she’s not herself anymore and my grandpa is a lot to handle, but now I’m regretting that.

Now I feel helpless and if there’s one thing I can do, aside from spend more time with her, it’s crochet and I’d love her to be cozy in her casket and covered with love even in her death (which is hopefully out a ways yet).I figure I can make it now and if she makes it through this sickness, then she can use it while she’s here too.

Is this too morbid?

Update: thank you all for your kind words and advice! I didn’t expect many people to respond but thank you! I got an update today saying that it’ll likely be days to weeks.
