Tyrone, you're going through what many of us went through. Placement isn't the end all, though, but it'll give you some reprieve and sense of calm back. When your feelings start to overwhelm you with guilt/remorse, try to remember why she needs to be placed. I never had doubts it was the right move for both of us.

me neither, I wasn’t thrilled about it but it had to happen. Hang in there

When I first placed my spouse I would feel guilty and think I should bring him home. Then I'd have to walk myself through the whole process again: that if he came home it wouldn't be like it used to be, that if he were still able to do what we used to do we wouldn't be in this situation, all the reasons that having him home wasn't working and led to placement. Then I'd have a moment of realizing that, yes, placement was the right decision.

Then later the same day or the next day I'd start the whole cycle over again.
