At Hospice Quinte we meet, and talk to, a lot of people who have become family caregivers for loved ones who are facing a terminal illness. We hear a lot of stories and many of these involve emotions such as sadness, hope, exhaustion, happiness, grace, despair, longing, love, and even anger. Yet, perhaps, the common emotion we hear about is guilt. A few of the phrases we hear: "I am guilty of not being 100 percent present", "I feel guilty for being upset and wishing things were different", "I feel guilty about wishing I could run away sometimes" and "I am guilty of rushing through a day so I can have some alone time".
