Will this guilt go away?

Posted before. My beautiful Mum passed away last September (Primary CNS Lymphoma) I feel so guilty. Whilst poorly and undiagnosed (docs thought she had depression) I tried to get her out and about with me and my kids. Did I make her worse? Could moving around have made the tumour more aggressive? I can't help thinking that I made things worse. 

  • All you need to do is realise the DELIGHT you gave your mother by being with her and including her in what you were doing. You sound like a marvellous child who didn't leave her to be lonely. Don't feel guilty. I promise you, you did everything RIGHT.
  • Hi, I lost my mum 2nd April. I am still struggling with grief and I have found that guilt is a big part of it. Having done some research and talked to others I have found that almost everyone feels guilt of some sort. I have a long list of things I feel guilty about. One of them being that I just excepted her diagnosis and let her die. (2 and a half weeks later) I don't know how I could have fixed it but that's how my brain is working at the moment. You didn't make your mum worse. If anything you made some lovely memories that she and you wouldn't have had if you hadn't tried to get her out and about. If she had been sat at home she probably would have been lonely and poorly, then you would have felt guilty that you didn't spend more time with your mum before she was diagnosed. Feel happy that you had those lovely times together. Sending hugs xxx
