I've suffered from depression because of the death of my mom, it's not that I blame others but I blame myself. I think I need to forgive myself to move on. It's hard when you think that you hadn't done enough.. anyways..Thank you so much for sharing this @wolfenlord ! Resteemed!

Well you´re right on the spot when you say that you need to forgive yourself and move on. I don´t know your particular case and I´m assuming you don´t want to discuss something as personal as that on an open forum, but you need to realize something: even if you were right about not doing enough for her, we ALWAYS do only as much as our knowledge and conscience(im not referring to the ability to distinguish right from wrong but to the side of us that is evolved and responsible enough to look at the whole picture from all angles) at the time allows us to do. I repeat: we can only behave as our inner maturity allows us to behave and can only do as much as we know how to do in a given time. So you can see, punishing yourself for it is useless. It´s like beating a 3 year old child because she doesn´t know mathematics. It is much more useful to you in the long run(and less painful) to remember everything important you learned from the experience and embrace that you are fallible(can make mistakes) like everyone else. If you truly want something better to do about it than punishing yourself, make a solemn, honest vow to yourself not to make that same mistake again, and after that, let go off your guilt.
"make a solemn, honest vow to yourself not to make that same mistake again, and after that, let go off your guilt." Move on and let go! I will look forward on your future posts. I hope soon my eyes will smile again. 😊I appreciate this alot @wolfenlord , thank you! I will keep these things in mind and will definitely take your advice..
