hi phoenixgirl,
i'm sorry that you feel so bad.
guilt is a "normal" reaction to the death of somebody that you were close to ... a horrible, gut-eating "normal" feeling.
it's not that you were selfish phoenixgirl - you did the best you could with the resources you had at the time. contact by email is great - when i get email, i feel respected and cared for. if it is a comfort to me, i'm sure it is a comfort to others (like sar).
we can't change the past. we can't undo what has been done. if you have a t, can you share your feelings with him/her? i think talking through your feelings will help you come to accept what is, in time.
