Overcoming Cancer Survivor Guilt – Maureen Johnson wrote, in her novel ‘Girl at Sea,’ “Guilt isn’t always a rational thing, Clio realized. Guilt is a weight that will crush you whether you deserve it or not.”
As explained, guilt can be a mixture of feelings – normally it unites the words ‘blame’ and ‘regret.’ The feelings of guilt can also push people toward playing the ‘What if’ and ‘If only’ game as they try to analyze or rationalize what could have been done or how they could ‘right a wrong.’
It is one of many emotions that run the gamut through the emotions of many people who have or are living with cancer. People with cancer may feel guilt for a variety of reasons.
