Guilty

You should not feel guilty about your parent being sick; it’s not your fault.

You should also not feel guilty at having fun and laughing. It does not mean you do not love and care for your sick parent.

Ways to Cope

• Talk to a grownup about your guilty feelings, they will help you understand that it is not your fault

• Make a plan to have one fun activity to do each day that is all about you. Remember doing something fun does not mean you do not care or love your parent
