The Caregivers' Guilt Dumpster - Open for business

I try not to complain about my situation but sometimes I cannot help myself when I am tired and frustrated. I am further frustrated when I get the comment in return "It could be worse". I think to myself, for sure it could be worse but right now it feels pretty bad. That then compounds the feelings of guilt. Reflecting back on the long process.....did I miss doing everything I could for my loved one? I am sure that I did but decisions were made with the knowledge I had at that time.

@jenniferkr , welcome to the forum. I'm sure you did the best you could do with the knowledge you had at the time. That's all any of us can do. This forum is a great place to share experiences and get information from people who have had similar experiences and situations.

@jenniferkr Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! I’m glad that you’ve joined this wonderful group of caregivers! They (and now you) share information on every aspect of caregiving.
Is your loved one at home or in a facility?
