Is it normal to feel so guilty after the fact and my guilt comes in two parts 

I feel guilty from slipping on ice and waking with a limp on throat which turned into thyroid cancer which was down and cured before I even knew it and I feel guilty that this affected me so much yet I wasn’t poorly par sa

then mum gets cancer and sadly didn’t survive, now our relationship was always very complicated and all I can feel is guilty that I survived and she didn’t and feel that others judge me for it as well it’s over 2 yrs since she passed and I will be cancer free 10yrs this year but it’s still a cloud hanging over me, but no one knows I don’t let them see, I’m a mess 

  • Hi  

    Yes.

    If we look here we can both see how common this is but potentially ways forward.

    We can also see here in our guide on life after treatment some of the issues you have raised and that might be helpful too.
