this is just a small idea based upon less life experience than you are experiencing right now.
You are going to do what you have to do. And it is going to hurt. and at some point when it is done, if you feel guilt for your feelings, rather than pride for your actions, you will be selling yourself short.
I hated it when my granddad died slow. I didn't maybe live out my responsibilities. when me or my wife has been real ill, we've done what we have to. that's real life. the thing we all claim we can't handle, but do everyday.
I mean this supportive, do what you do, the best you can, don't feel sorry for not achieving some idealistic emotional or physical plane that saints aspire to.
And help is a realistic obtainable goal, then by all means, get it. My grandma worked her butt off, but she had still got help, and she is perhaps the greatest person I've ever known.
