There is grief. There may also be some sense of relief. relief. Whether this relief comes from the feeling that the loved one is no longer suffering, from not having to witness that suffering, suffering, or from not having to care for the person any longer, such reactions are human and natural. However, most people don't see it that way. They feel guilty about these natural feelings. Could they have really loved the person if one part of them feels relieved by the death? They may blame themselves for not having done more, for having uttered some cross words, for not having been at the person's side more. Self-blame is a no-win deal.
