A couple of days ago, an aquaintance committed suicide. She left behind four children. I volunteer in a local "drop in center" and got to know this woman. I didn't realize how much this would affect me. I feel terrible. I know better, but somehow cant help the fact that I "think I could have helped her". I think I can "save the world" Of course this isn't true. I cant stop seeing her face. We are having a debriefing at work RE: this.
I feel guilty that I didn't see the signs. She must have felt so alone. How can I get her out of my head???????????
I cant believe I'm just thinking of me in this situation. What about the kids and her friends and family? I need a little advice.
