• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I am feeling so guilty right now. When my mom passed away I basicly left everything up to my daughter. I feel like the worst parent in the world. I'm supposed to be the strong one as a parent and couldn't even be there for my daughter. She was holding my moms hand when she passed away. I couldn't even get near her. All I could do was basicly sit there while my daughter and my sister did everything at the end. While I ended up in the hospital. I feel horrible.

Everyone reacts differently; it is a time of terrible stress....
Please do not beat yourself up; your profile says YOU cared for her...for 30 YEARS.
Obviously ....by saying you ended up in the hospital, shows you were not strong (were ill; whatever the case was).
Thankfully she had your daughter and sister...she was not alone.
I am sure she 'knew' and understood; you did more for her in a lifetime than most daughters do.
Things don't always go as planned; we must trust in God's providence for these things
Praying for your peace
