guilt

My mom falls. She does this too often, and I don't know what to do to help her not fall. Handrails won't help, because she loses strength in her arms.

Today she fell badly and my resident family ended up calling 911 after she was stuck for a good part of the day, away from the phone and help.

I am not resident family, I had no way of knowing she was in trouble, so why do I feel so terribly guilty?

I shouldn't. I do what I can for her.

But I have more guilt on my own (because of my recovering Catholicism?) than anyone else could ever dish up for me. About this and a million more things, indeed.

So there. :P
