Byz, please don't be too hard on yourself. There's no instruction book for how to be a caregiver. And it's really easy to second guess ourselves after the fact. This one reason when I talk to people about caregiving I encourage them to have open discussions with the person they are caring for. Better yet, have those conversations ahead of time. How is the caregiver to know if "I'm tired of dialysis" means the person is ready to give up/die or means they are tired having to undergo dialysis?
