For 3 months I have been my mother's caregiver. I have been helping with her care while she was in the hospital but now she has moved home for her final weeks. I have left my family with 3 children and loved in with my mother. My children come to visit with my husband but we decided that their lives should remain as normal as possible. But every night I realize how much I am missing out on. They go to activities without me, visit family and friends and I am here.
I want the world to just stop. Just wait while I am with my mother. And that makes me feel selfish and guilty. I do not regret this choice to be with my mother but I can't handle missing out.
