Asking for forgivenes

I asked my father for forgiveness before he died. During his long illness,I really treated him very unfairly and presented him for it.I felt more like a maid than a daughter and I know now that that was wrong of me? So when I had to say goodbye,after I told him how much I loved him,I asked for his forgiveness and I think he heard me and I like to think he forgave me but I'm having the hardest time forgiving myself.

For not being a saint ? Come on now . You were there with him , in the mist horrible of situations . You had no training or prior experience with hospice care . Yet you stayed in there . Certainly you have some regrets but you also should be proud that you stayed to the bitter end . Give yourself time to grieve and forgive yourself. Nothing is harder than that .

Guilt is horrible.
Please forgive yourself.
It sounds like you were there for him and he obviously loved you. He would want you to be happy.

You do what you do at the time. It's not an easy situation.

Just grieve. It's painful. Sorry.
