Hi ya'll, I've recently become a caregiver at the age of 29 as an only child for my father with dementia who is 74. He was diagnosed back in December 2023 with very little notice and had to be moved into a memory care close to my home - I work a full time job and am unable to stop working. It's just him and myself in our family. It's been 8 months into caregiving and I am scared, nervous, and feel a lot of doubt and guilt in this situation. He's in the beginning stages of dementia so I feel as if I rushed the move to MC even though he had to be assessed prior to moving. Does the doubt and guilt ever diminish at any point for moving a loved one into MC? Wrestling with this and handling all affairs, finances, and health care has lead to several burnouts that only make things worse. How can I avoid this?
