Today, I dropped to my knees and nearly vomited when I read her suicide note and realized it blamed me. MMT

If she is blaming the disease ME, then why are you upset, you didn't give it to her.

No matter what it was her decision to kill herself. You're not the one to blame.

I know it was awful at the time, but you really can not be blamed for other people's actions. Someone close to me often threatens suicide when things go bad, and if I were to move out that they would kill themselves. Yet, I plan on leaving as soon as I am legal. If they choose to kill them self, it is not my fault that I chose to be happy. It's sad. But... Unless you directly harmed them on purpose, it... Really, isn't your fault.

I'm going to be super honest here. This happened to me, and you'll learn to accept that it wasn't your fault but that thought that you MAY have been a cause will haunt you for a long time. So sorry, it sucks, but it does get better.

You didn't make her kill herself, but you could have easily made her feel bad or frustrated or whatever emotion or life events inspired suicide. Learn from it. Don't forgive yourself without working on yourself first.

YOU didn't make her kill herself. SHE decided to kill herself. I don't wish that upon anyone -- and it must feel awful, but please get better :)

She can't blame you for that. She made the choice not you. Do not blame yourself for that. People look for someone else to blame when they don't want to face their own responsibilities.

Just because she fell, doesn't mean she has the right to pull you down as well.
