[QUOTE="KK123, post: 2370926, member: 451727"] Hi [USER=535662]@Sad21+[/USER] , I suspect no matter how much we all say don't blame yourself, clearly you are going to continue to do so (it's human nature). Personally it could have happened to any of us. In my job I see it ALL the time, people witness something or see a family member in dire straights or collapsing etc. They go into some kind of shock, they don't really know what to do so they um and ah for a bit, and then they might subconsciously try to minimise what is happening because it's simply too much to bear thus they become frozen in indecision. Some of them literally run off never to be seen again, others hang around and then end up doing the right thing and that seems to be what you did, yes if only this and that comes into it but as I say there are many (human) reasons involved mostly a 'this can't be happening' scenario. All I would say is that the relationship between you and your Mum seems strong, it sounds like you love her very much and are caring for her, I suspect SHE loves you dearly as well. Try to think about what SHE would feel like if she knew you were blaming yourself to the extent that you are, would she be happy or would she be devastated at YOUR pain?
