[quote=Anonymous]I think that you really just need to reframe your thinking. You did what you felt was best for your father. That is all anyone can do. It is extremely difficult to watch your loved one die. I just went through it and no matter what the guilt is always there. My dad lived out of state and when he was no longer able to live on his own I made the decision to move him into an assisted living facility in my state, so I could better navigate his care. I knew I couldn't rely on others to watch over him and take care of him. I know that he wanted to stay in his home, but I also knew that it was an unsafe environment. I loved my dad, but it was extremely difficult to see him like he was. It was frustrating having a conversation with him. I was constantly tasked with solving problems that existed only in his demented mind. Honestly, I didn't visit as much as you would have liked, but I did what I needed to do to get through. [/quote]
