re: How do you deal with the guilt of living far away from your aging parents?

I'm just about to begin something I was wanting to start a few years ago. I held off because my dad's health was declining. He passed away peacefully at home exactly six months ago today. No way in hell I was leaving knowing he was losing what health he had left and being unsure if I would be able to get back home in time. I'd never forgive myself if I left knowing he needed my help and if I wasn't able to have been with him until the end.
