Guilt

Lost both my mam and dad with 18 months of each other. Problem is, my dad and myself had a disagreement with each other, both being stubborn either of us would contact each other.
One morning had a call from my sister saying dad is on the floor can’t wake him. So i rushed there and my dad was on the floor, face down. I shook him and turn him over to, see his face was smashed in
Commenced CPR because he was for resuscitation, even thou he was dead.
When dad was removed from the house, my mam just down hill, a broken heart. On the 27th of December we her gone, in her sleep.
I still think if my dad and myself just talked both might have still been here. Can’t sleep because I’m seeing my dads face. Could i have done anything for my mam.
My work is getting affected, crying most days. Yes have had the thought and was talked down by friends

Killian, I am so sorry that you have lost your mom and dad so close together. You have normal guilt, we all feel some degree of guilt thinking of the “what ifs”, but you must understand that you had nothing to do with the deaths of your parents. Nothing you did, or did not do, would have made any difference.

This is simple fact.

No one losses a loved one without things left unsaid. Talk to your parents, tell them how sorry you are that they are gone and tell them how much you love them and miss them.

Rest knowing that they are together in Paradise and one day, you will meet them there.

Love and hugs.
