Most people will realize as much, but guilt can start to build in proportion to the amount of care the loved one needs. As time passes, they will need more and more care. Eventually, you are going to have to determine whether a professional living facility is needed. For most families, it is. Making that decision, however, can create huge amounts of guilt. Don't let it! You have a life of your own. You are not abandoning your loved one. There is a difference between caring for a loved one and being overwhelmed by it. Make sure to support and care for your loved one. Give the agencies numbers to the families to help.
