This challenge fits into "survivor's guilt" where a person really struggles with coming to a point in themselves to come to an understanding that whatever was lost really was not their fault in any way. I have struggled with this challenge myself, I was so angry with myself for not recognizing a danger sooner that could have prevented something traumatic from happening.
Reality is that no matter how much one tries to prevent and care, things can happen that are bad or traumatic anyway.

As I told Oliver it's hard to get the head on the right track when the heart is saying something different. Kind of like golf.....if my putting is good , my drives stink, if my putting is bad , my drives are good. Just hard to get it all together. I think there are different levels of guilt. When it comes to someone else's life or future, it's a stronger guilt.
