You feel guilty because you are harming someone else. The way to "brace yourself" is to believe that the harm you are giving out is ok. If its ok, then its probably not harm or abandonment or any other negative adjective. It's just a transaction. It's ok if your actions aren't optimal outcomes for other people.
