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

Had a chance to work overseas. It would have been fun and I was already familiar with the company and country. We decided against it, however, in part because not only would we be so far from our aging parents but they would be so far from their grandchild. Looking back, we could have done it for a few years, then moved back before the parents got so old they needed our help.
But there are no regrets. The grandparents got to know their grandchild and when they did need our help, we were there. I was the primary care giver for my mom after my dad died. Spent a couple of days with her each week to take care of her stuff and give her some company. She only lived about 100 miles away. You only have one mama.
