Caring for someone with Alzheimer's 24/7 would leave a person absolutely exhausted at times. It would be natural to feel a whole gamut of emotions, including guilt.
It's not important but did you mean 'scrawling', not 'scawling'?
Take care

Thanks for the review. And yes, I meant scrawling. thanks for pointing that out.
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
That was normal. I don't think anyone can honestly say they didn't have terrible thoughts when they have been a 24/7 carer of someone you love. Of course we feel guilty afterwards. I know I did. I remember once praying to God, but the words that came into my head wouldn't come out of my mouth. I couldn't ask Him to take me instead. I've never forgotten that feeling of utter guilt that I could be that selfish. They are trying times, but they are rare. Tiredness has a big share of the blame. You did your best, and with love, Marjon. No one, not even God could ask for more. Warm hugs, my friend. Sandra xxx

Comment from thaities, Rebecca V.
This is a new reality to me. All I can think of to suggest is praying about this as the last thing on your mind before sleeping. God can give you a restful and dreamless sleep.

Comment from Cindy Decker
Such a horrible thing you experienced, Marjon. When I person loses touch with life and a loved one. Maybe they feel your presence, but can't acknowledge it anymore.
Very sad recount of events, Marjon.
Blessings,
Cindy
