In Six Words, What’s a Caregiving Fear?
Feb 7 2013 in Six-Word Stories, Spotlight by Denise
Last week, you shared your caregiving worries in six words.
This week, I’d love to know about a caregiving fear. And, I’d love for you to share in six words. Last night’s talk show (What’s the Worst Caregiving Emotion?) inspired this discussion about caregiving fears. I found our conversation fascinating and would love to know more about what you fear during caregiving.
A caregiving fear (in six words) could sound like this:
What if I lose my temper?
What if I can’t do it?
Please share your six-word caregiving fears in our comments section, below.

What if I miss the moment?
Heather Slutzky said on February 7, 2013
And for me that is about a lot of the moments because the things that are gone rarely announce themselves as they go. So I’m afraid I’ll miss the last time (insert whatever) but I am also afraid that I’ll miss the laugh or the eye twinkle because it is just a perfect moment that I am not present for.

Feeling resentful and entrapment scare me.

Can’t function, no help, lose everything.
Honestly, my one fear really is the worst-case scenario. Otherwise, I think I’m good.

watching life instead of living it
Gina said on February 8, 2013
What if I make a wrong decision?
What if this is the best that she is going to get?
Why I am not making a difference in her quality of life?
Am I making the rest of the people in my life suffer because I chose to do this?
Am I getting too depressed to handle this any more for her greater good?
Should I get help for myself?

@Lisa? WOW! Love it!!!!
@gail said on February 8, 2013
@Gina, great all of them!

Guilt, is this the rest of our lives?
Fear, he’ll get hurt on my watch.
What if something happens to me?
@gail said on February 8, 2013
Ah @Pegi, I can see where your mind has been leading you! {{HUGS}}
