The ongoing pain from not having had a chance to say goodbye. (Published 12/23/2014)

Q:

My two uncles died. Both were sudden deaths, and one was a suicide. I didn’t have a chance to say goodbye to either of them. The one who took is own life suffered with bi-polar depression. I blame myself because I believe I could have helped if I had known that he had depression. I think I should have known. What can I do to deal with the feelings I have?
