So are motorcycle accidents, children that accidentally hung themselves in trees, children that break into medicine cabinets, children that commit suicide.....
These are all examples from my parents support group of parents that have lost children. They themselves have suffered the loss of two, neither case was their anything to blame themselves for, and neither case could they have prevented it. But no amount of counselling or therapy, will ever convince them otherwise. They were my siblings, and I will never stop asking "What could I have done to change things?" myself. Things as stupid as sending a text message or making a phone call at a specific point when I thought of it. Maybe that would have prevented it. Like a butterfly effect.
These parents suffer for their entire lives, with or without blaming. Your comment was very callous and insensitive.
