Why do I feel guilty about my sister's death by cancer, even though it was completely out of my control?

It is completely normal for a family member to feel guilt after someone's passing, But you did nothing to cause it and there isn't much anyone could do to fix it. Just remember she loves you and she's watching over you.

I think that no matter what you did or what happened to your sister, we all have the reaction to feel as if we could have done something to help, even though it may have been completely out of our control. This can really go into effect with anything, but if it involves our family members I think it has a more profound effect on us.
