I know that I had lots of feelings of guilt for a long time after my Bobby died. I felt guilty for not getting there sooner, and, then for not being able to do anything to help him when I did get there! And, sometimes these feelings still haunt me. Even after almost 6 years. But, I know that I am not to blame for what happened to my precious son. I would have given my own life if it would have helped him. And, now, sometimes I feel badly (I don't know if I would call it guilt) because I have moved 1300 miles away and cannot visit his resting place on his special days. But, he always said that if a person cares about someone, they should let them know throughout the year and not just on special days...And, my Bobby did know that he was very much loved by a lot of people...
The word guilt implies that you I did something wrong...and I did nothing wrong....
I also know, from personal experience, that feelings of guilt are not that easy to dismiss....but, we have to try....it does not do us or anyone else any good to tear ourselves apart when we have done nothing wrong......that is...unless loving someone with all our heart is wrong......and that is all you did.
