Thank you so much for leaving this comment for me, it actually means a lot.

From my personal experience, I imagine it would both hurt and help your friend to read my piece. I had a little cry after reading about your friend's experience. I can't say for sure but I think show her. You know her though, so obviously the decision is yours.

Both my grief and guilt have faded a lot over time. I don't think either will ever truly leave me. They well up occasionally but I've learned to live with that.

Unfortunately, I have a C-PTSD diagnosis and all kinds of feelings tend to swell and flood through me constantly. However, deep peace is something I strive for.

Warm wishes and bright blessings to you and your friend. Perhaps you would tell me if you do send her this piece? Thanks again for reading.
