Well, you really shouldn't feel guilty and she shouldn't make you feel bad about it because everyone has a life and she needs to realize that but before you do leave make sure she has everything she will need like food and water and make everything easily accessible for her but if she still makes you feel bad about it just let her remember that she had a life to and if this was her situation she would most likely feel the same way.
