Scenario

When family members share guilt over a friend's death

My sister and I both feel guilty about how our friend Jamie died by suicide, but we're blaming ourselves for completely different things and can't seem to comfort each other — we just keep reopening each other's wounds.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two people are drowning in parallel shame, each convinced their particular failure was the decisive one.
