Caregiver's guilt

Now that my precious father is gone, I have been swarmed with feelings of guilt.  I stumpled upon this article as I was searching for answers... it has  givenen me a renewed hope that maybe just maybe I did my dad proud.  Just in case you feel this way too...

  • Hi there - thank you so much for posting this link. I've just read it & it's excellent & says, really, everything there is to say about people like you who care for others.

    I certainly hope you don't feel at all guilty although I can understand how easily that might happen to any of us. I'm sure this link will help others & it was very kind & thoughtful of you to think about other carers when you are probably still grieving for your dad who I'm sure you "did proud".

    Very good wishes to you. x

  • Hi mg so sorry about your father, if you've been looking after him you've helped make things easier for him. I'm a carer myself my wife needs 24/7 care I'm trying to arrange care for her when I have to go out I'm the one with C it gets orquard when I need treatment, we do what we can to help them we can only do so much if we get ill its worse for both of us, you kneed to think about yourself more now, you did do your best for your dad that's all you can do. You should be proud of yourself.
