π Why Guilt Is Common in Caregivers & How to Handle It πΏ
Caring for someone you love is rewarding but challenging. Learn healthy ways to manage guilt and care for yourself, too.
At Absolute Care Services, we understand caregiver guilt intimately. You might feel guilty for needing breaks, having negative feelings, not doing enough, considering professional help, or wanting your own life back.
Remember: these feelings are normal and don't make you a bad person. Guilt often signals you need support, not that you're failing.
Healthy strategies include accepting you can't do everything, using respite care without shame, maintaining your own health, and recognising that professional care can provide what you cannot.
