How do you stop feeling guilt?

When my dad was in a nursing home the past two years, I started visiting twice a week, but went down to once a week. He was often irate and it was difficult..but mostly our visits were good. My sister said she'd only do once a week because of how he treated us in our life, mainly backing up my mom's horrible severe abuse. So I went once a week.

He was recently diagnosed with aggressive cancer, untreatabl, in January . It was heartbreaking. He's been in hospice a week now and each day he can talk less🥺 He was the only parent I could sometimes ask minor advice. And even though I've been by his side each day, telling him I love him, I get guilt still that I didn't go as often last year as I could have. 🙁 I think it's going to make me anxious after he passes. How to alleviate any of it?

Guilt is a hard thing to get over but you must understand no matter how much time we spend with someone we always could do more. You must just apply to your life the time that you are able to spend with him spend with him if he is already in hospice you have very little time left make the most of it you can't change the past.
