Until it actually hits home

You have expressed your fears eloquently and that is a good start. It would be great if you could join a support group and talk with other caregivers (even long distance ones) about your concerns. Guilt wastes our energy and saps our reserves, yet is so often part of the our daily thought processes when someone we care for needs care. Counselors are wonderful to help with these stressors also, such as the counselors at the Family Services of Roanoke Valley Adults Plus program. There are people to turn to for help with these emotions and I encourage you to reach out to some of the wonderful options available.
