How families navigate guilt after sudden vs expected loss

Our family is torn apart because when Dad had his sudden heart attack, some of us feel guilty that we didn't see it coming while others are angry that Mom had been worried about his health for months and we dismissed her concerns. Every family gathering becomes a referendum on whether we failed him.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen
