Why do we women ALWAYS have so much guilt??!!-Sorry, Long
I feel soooo guilty now. My grandma has been in the hospital for a couple of days but there was no way I could squeeze it in to see her this weekend. Well I had off today but I had both kids so I didn't think it would be a good idea to go and see her as they start getting out of control together and a hospital is not a good place for that. It is not like I did not think about it, but decided against it.
Well...my sister calls me tonight that she is not doing well and she has been there all day (without her child). She was ok all day but got bad later. She proceeds to make me feel REALLY bad that I did not come by today. I asked her if I should come now and she said no they were going to leave soon.
She has a more flexible schedule as she does not work and I ALWAYS feel guilty that I am not running to see so and so like she does. She also made me feel guilty that I did not call my dad alot like she did before he passed away.
It is not like I don't care but I have so much on my plate that it is hard to just get up and run around and yes, I am a bad caller and don't do it very often.
I know this all sounds so childess and immature but am I the only one who gets this guilt for not doing enough for their families? I have a HUGE stomach ache right now and HATE myself for not going there today and being the "good" granddaughter. Ugghhhh!!

Let's put it this way--I will be visiting family in the hospital this entire weekend. I feel your pain though. I have no sisters and my brother works a ton, so everything falls on me. Sometimes I get tired of being Superwoman.

That really stinks. I have a funeral to go to this weekend, my grandmother's sister (she does not know she died).

 It seems like a bad time of year for this stuff.

Yes, I just went to a wake the other night and it is not looking good for grandma. She is older and has pneumonia.

I can understand how life can get in the way, and I know what feeling guilty is like! But please try and go see her ASAP. As guilty as you feel now, just imagine how guilty you will feel if g-d forbid she passes away and you didn't go visit her in the hospital

Yes, I am going to go tomorrow. I really don't want to see "the end" if possible as I went through it with my dad and it is not the best thing to see but I do want to go and see her, especially if she is still talking and recognizes people.

If it makes you feel any better... My grandma was in a hospital and then eventually moved over to a nursing home. I tried to go as much as I could because of the whole guilt factor.The days run into one another. So if she thought she was there for 3 days, to her she was in for 3 weeks. They lose all sense of time.
You are just a good person feeling bad because you haven't seen your grandma. Hope she gets better soon
