That is a lot of loss that you have suffered.

What makes it your fault?

Part of the grief process is blaming yourself for something. But try and rationalise it. Could you have done anything to save them? No, you loved them all and that's why the loss hurts so bad.

I don't have any advice, but I have suffered a lot of loss within the last 15 months myself, so I really can relate to what you are going through.

Keep talking about what is going on for you, how you feel, etc.

Hang in there

I understand how you feel. It seems losses don't just come one at a time. Sometimes we are not allowed to fully grieve one loss befor another hits. It is okay for you to be sad swift. You said you were unable to be there for your aunt and brother. i am sure they knew you loved them very much and would have been there had the circumstances allowed. When did these losses happen? How far apart were they? Give yourself time to work through the grieving process. There are no limits as to how long this will be. Some people work through it quickly while others take a long time. Know that you are in our thoughts. :hug:

how can any of those deaths be your fault, i know this dosnt sound right but bad things happen to good people, both my grannys died of cancer and both raised money for important charitys. they both died but i only knew one, she lived until i was 12 when she died, it felt like my world had ended. i went on my bike and cycle 40km to a park she used to bring me to and i climbed the highest tree i could overlokking a patch where me,my granny, my aunty and my cousins would have picnics and that made me feel good because i felt like it was just me and her there in the tree, no death can ever be youre fault, dont even consider it, i did that when my brother took a delierate OD and he died. i thought it was my fault but now i realise it wasnt. his life was just turning to shit and the amount of pressure on him outweighed his coping skills

I understand how you feel. For some reason, when people we love die, we find a way to blame ourselves. For example, my Dad died in a car accident...I was and am devastated by this. Well, I was 16 at the time, and I have always blamed myself because that day, I did what I often did (much to my Dad's chagrin); I parked my car behind his, so he ended up taking my Mom's car...still a nice, safe car, but not AS safe. Anyway, I blamed myself for so long...but I grew to realize that everything that happens is a part of a greater destiny...perhaps a destiny that we cannot presently understand. I believe that people are taken from us when they are "done". When they have learned what they need to learn, experienced what was important for their growth, etc. NOT your fault...just the way the world works...I believe that those we love are deliriously happy in another place, and we will eventually join them...but no need to rush :)

I'm really so sorry for your losses,it's a natural feeling you know when someone passes away you feel if I only was there to do this for them,I only told them I loved them more etc.But let me tell you nothing is your fault,sadly these people so dear to you including your pet's have passed away and it hurt's you so much.

I know you're feeling so sad,recently I remember losing my cat at one stage and I remembered a time I said to it move like sought of get out of the way.and something silly like that was enough to almost bring me down.

My cousin died in an automobile accident in 1994.

My oldest uncle died of liver cirrhosis in 1997.

My grandma (mum's side) died of alzhemier's disease in 1999.

My former schoolmate died in an automobile accident in 2002.

My aunt died of bowel cancer in 2003.
* I will never forget the day her of her funeral because my dad was talking shit that day and acting as if he is the only person who doesn't feel sad since he was smiling and joking around happily. He was busy talking shit while others are mourning. What a jerk!

My turtles (whom I love so much) died in 2006.

** This year, someone I love so dearly will die. There is a possibility she might make it till 2008 but thats the longest she could last. I don't think I can be prepared for that even though I know it for some time already..
