My Mom’s in ICU after 2 days in the Hospital. I just called in to take 3 days off from work so I can go and be with her, she’s 88 and not in good health. So why do I feel guilty about calling in to work?
We are programmed that way! I always feel like I’m letting down the team when I miss work. But your mom is a priority! Capture that guilty thought and call it a liar, you are doing the right thing!

Don’t feel guilty. Jobs come and go, but we only ever get one mom.

You‘re doing the right thing, Deanna. Besides guilt, you might be feeling insecure with the economy the way it is. God will only honor you for honoring your mother.
Deanna.. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.. Your doing the right thing, you need to be with your mom..
Keep us posted..
Hope your mom recovers nicely. Work programs us to think that is the most important thing, but your family is more important. Try not to feel guilty. Take care.
I hope everything works out with you and your mom.
And I agree with the other ladies, If you were at work; you would be feeling horrible that you were there instead of being with your mom.
Deanna, my prayers are with you and your family at this time, just trust God in all things. Your mom is in the best of hands. I’m praying Gods will for your mom. As far as your job fret not God has it all in control.

This is what was shared with me and now I want to share with you.
Shame/guilt is a very strong word and implies that you may feel that there is something wrong with you. If you have done something that goes against your own values, then you rightly will feel guilt/shame. That feeling is there to prompt you to realign yourself with your values. Shame/guilt is not something that you want to put on yourself. Shame/guilt tends to leave you feeling helpless and hopeless.
Take this experience as an opportunity to learn and grow. I would opt for feeling relieved that you wisely chose to be with your mother and not to go to work.

You and your mom are In my thoughts and prayers. Don’t feel guilty about taking a few days off of work, Family comes first and If your work doesn’t understand that, then what kind of people would they be. Take care and be with your mom without any guilt. Keep us posted.
Don’t feel guilty. I used to be the same way but I finally realized family comes first. Your both in my thoughts.
Thank you all for your prayers,blessings,support,love,and hugs. My Mom is still in ICU, they have to get an Echocardiogram and an MRI of her Abdomen. She’s not eating or drinking hardly anything, which really has me worried. I spent all afternoon by her bedside yesterday, I could tell she really appreciated it, especially since we recently reconciled after a long standoff(We‘re both stubborn). My brother works at the Hospital she’s in, so he checks on her frequently, and my BF took off today to be with me and go see her. I’ll probably spend a few hours with her this afternoon. As a nurse I’m right on top of every single thing they‘re doing, or not doing to make sure she get’s excellent care. I’m actually glad she is in the ICU dept, because she get’s constant attention due to the small dept, and she’s in a room near the nurses station.
I wish I could give each and every one of you a gigantic hug. Thank you, you all made me really tear up reading all your heartfelt messages..I love you all!
