rsmith123,
Imo, She would forgive you and understand it was an accident.
For the sake of her memory please forgive yourself.
Would she not want that?
My parents died near my 15th bday, they woke me up to involve me in their gunfight which turned into a murder/suicide.
Let me tell you all the years that I spent blaming myself for what I did or didnt do were wasted and served no meaningful purpose.
Some things just happen and as hard as it is you have to find a way to get on with life.
Its not “easy for me to say”...Ive lived it with the untimely loss of 2 loved ones at once.
If you dwell on the accident, it can eat you alive from the inside. God will help you if you trust Him to.
Being a dad to 3 girls I cant imagine how hard this is for you and will keep you in my prayers.
Please dont let it destroy you. Be strong.
There has been enough pain due to this unfortunate accident.
PS: No offense intended if I came on too strong or said the wrong thing.
