Hello.
I've been caring my my Nanna for over a year, until this weekend when it was decided that it was no longer safe for her to be at home on her own and she has now gone in to full time care. I'm really struggling with the guilt of not being able to provide the care she needed to keep her at home, and that there was nothing I could do to stop it. I feel like I'm grieving for both the grandaughter/grandmother relationship I once had with her, and now the caring role that somehow developed. I had no idea about carer support until recently, and now I'm worried it's too late to get any support for how I'm feeling because she's gone into full time care.
If anyone has any advice I'd be so grateful for anything.
Thank you.
