I go to a "peer support group" on a regular basis, and one of the people who had been attending off and on for just a couple of months committed suicide last month. It was a shocking experience to see how much it effected all of us in the group even though we didn't know him that well. We all were asking ourselves what we could have done, and what we missed that we didn't see it coming and do something to stop it.

I'm sure that with someone's therapist they would feel so much worse, and the feeling of guild would have to get to them.
