Guilt robs us of our happiness. It reminds us that we did not do the
right thing. Guilt feelings remind us of the past and what happened that should
not have happened. I feel guilty that I outlived my son. I feel guilty when I
cook his favorite food. I feel guilty when I laugh.
I do not have guilt feelings about my role as his mother. I loved David
unconditionally. I gave him my time, and my full attention. He knew that he was
loved. He knew that he was safe with us. He knew that he was very important to
us. He too loved us.
