Dealing with the guilt of putting someone you love in a nursing home

Whether it's your mother or father or some other relative you have to place in a nursing home, it's a terribly tough decision and can leave you plagued by guilt.

Even if you don't get along with the person in question, seeing anyone you have known for a long time frail and in need of care can be heart wrenching.

And the moment when you take them to the nursing home and leave them can leave you feeling guiltier than ever.

"But they did so much for me"

It is common for people to recall how parents looked after and cared for them, and so feel they should be doing the same for their parents rather than placing them in the care of others.

Although you may feel sad at committing your relative to a nursing home, right decisions have to be right for every body. Guilt is an emotion that serves no purpose in the long term. Shame may make you act differently but guilt does nothing but make you feel bad. It's like the indigestion of emotions. It just sits there making you feel bad but doesn't really change anything.

This session will get you feeling more objective and detached about the whole process which will enable you to be more humane.

Dealing with Nursing Home Guilt won't make you care less but it will enable you to feel calmer about the inevitable and stop making things harder for yourself by feeling like a 'bad person.'
