My friend hung himself last year Aug 23,2007. I was fighting with my boyfriend at the time.....?

Question

I didn't go to his wake because my b/f beat me up really bad and blamed it on me...even tho Welch lived in Springfield,Il and I lived in utica,Il. Anyway how do I get over the guilt of not going , we were really good friends' all through high school and after.

Answer 1

The person is already gone, so the wake is for the living, not for him. What matters are your memories and what he gave you during the short time he was here. You can visit his grave and that's even better. Meanwhile, I hope to God you will get away from this violent abuser.

Answer 2

I understand your feeling.  But I tell you she is your friend so I don't think she will not understand your situation during that day. Just don't think of negative things anymore. Just move on and I'm sure your friend will be happy to if she sees you happy.

Answer 3

It wasn't your fault that you couldn't go to the wake!

AND..you need to get away from the jerk who beat you up!  He'll do it again....and again.....and....  

Answer 4

Aw, I'm so sorry. But hunny nothing was your fault.

That dumb jerk beat you up. And he can't blame anything on you.

And maybe you should go talk to a therapist about it.

And know that your friend isn't mad at you and is in a better place.

You obviously couldn't make it through those conditions.

And while I'm at it....please leave your boyfriend. That was horrible

that he beat you and blamed you and he should know you

were very devastated at a time like that. How dare he,

your better than that. Leave that pile of p**p.
