Ahhhhhhhh yes, that old devil Guilt! I'm familiar with Survivors Guilt Addy..

Jeffrey Jackson summed it up so well in that wonderful little handbook for survivors...... he wrote:

"Guilt is the one negative emotion that seems to be universal to all survivors of suicide, and overcoming it is behaps our greatest obstacle on the path to healing. Guilt is your worst enemy, because it is a false accusation.

You are not responsible for your loved one's suicide in any way, shape, or form. Write it down. Say it to yourself over and over again, (even when it feels false.) tatoo it onto your brain. Because it's the truth."
