Hi everyone! My dad’s in the hospital for some pretty awful cognitive issues (not dementia or Alzheimer’s) and I live in a whole different state so seeing him will take a bit. Anywho, I know he’s in amazing hands, but I have so much guilt and sadness. He’s not very coherent or awake per se but when we talked today he teared up seeing me in video chat. I feel broken. I feel like a terrible daughter. My heart’s just so hurting for my dad. I want to be there so badly and am making plans to go, but I can’t shake this horrible sadness. I should be happy he’s slightly improving 🙁 k guess I just need to vent, because I’m afraid we’re losing my dad for who he was (he is not passing away or terminal, his cognitive functioning just is disappearing somewhat)
I just wish I knew how to cope.
