Uniq_The_Geek answered Saturday May 8 2004, 2:12 pm: NO!!! it is not your fault that your mom died. Mybe it was her time to go. Or maybe she needed to go. Don't blame your self for her death. It is no ones fault that someone thay love died unless you commited their death. Do Not Blame Yourself!! [ Uniq_The_Geek's advice column | Ask Uniq_The_Geek A Question ]
askstella answered Tuesday May 4 2004, 7:58 pm: Of course it's not your fault your mom died! Unless you were the one who literally took her life, it was no more your fault than mine! When we're young and our lives aren't the most ideal with it comes to family, we say and sometimes do things we really don't mean. There's a time for all of us to die and that's left up to one being and one being only. I don't know if you believe in God or not, but life and death is his decision and no amount of wishing is going to kill someone if it's not their time to die. I can't tell you how many times my own mother has wished me dead over the years but as you can see, I'm still here. Alive and writing you . . . . :p You can't change to past but you can move forward. Focus on the happy times you spent with your mother and I'm sure you'll realize just how much she's still with you. [ askstella's advice column | Ask askstella A Question ]
Deanimal answered Sunday May 2 2004, 1:01 am: No, not at all!! I know what you mean. Sometimes, I daydream that something happens to me that would get a lot of attention, but not be very good, like a parent dying or I get cancer or something. Then I feel bad for thinking it, because I think of all the people who really don't have a parent or actually have cancer.
koolkat101 answered Saturday May 1 2004, 8:25 pm: of course not! you shouldn't feel this way! it isn't your fault your mom died. as for the thing about not getting attention from your firends, maybe you should find new friends who care about you.

foxshadow answered Saturday May 1 2004, 5:56 pm: When someone dies in your family, it's an automatic emotional reflex in people to feel guilty. But remember, it's not your fault! You're not the reason she passed on! ANd I'm very sorry for your loss... [ foxshadow's advice column | Ask foxshadow A Question ]

FallenAngel answered Saturday May 1 2004, 2:39 pm: I know that sometimes when someone you love dies you may feel guilty. But it's not your fault that she died. You wanted more attention, which is understandable, but you weren't the one that killed your mother. Don't worry hunny, it's not your fault. A wish isn't going to kill anyone. I hope you feel better soon. If you need someone to talk to about all of this you can email me at InDreams87@hotmail.com. I know how death can affect your emotions so talking really can help. Hope I can help you! Good luck hun! Just remember...your mother's death is not your fault!!! Feel better sweetie!

Kiki714 answered Saturday May 1 2004, 1:11 pm: NO!!!! Don't EVER think that. Everything you thought was just that. Something you thought. Unless you're god, which I'm fairly certain you're not, you did NOT cause your mother's death. Rest easy. -er. [ Kiki714's advice column | Ask Kiki714 A Question ]

Moggie answered Saturday May 1 2004, 11:46 am: I am afraid that this is a part of the growing up process which if you cannot get your own way or your parent do something which you think is awful but you are too young to understand why these things are done which in most cases for your own benefit but you cannot see it, so you lash out and think all kinds of wicked thoughts and hope that one of them will happen which when you are young is soon forgotten.
It is only when something really happens that people tend to look back and wonder was it really their fault but forget it as it happens to all of us [ Moggie's advice column | Ask Moggie A Question ]
