Freya,
I know you don't know me, so it's okay if this doesn't help, but I want to tell you that I don't think of you as a failure. I think of you as a loving mama who had the worst thing imaginable happen to her. I don't think of any of the moms and dads here on Glow as failures.
Sometimes I think we feel guilt because it is good to be able to place blame somewhere. And sometimes it feels easy to place the blame on ourselves. Because if we aren't at fault, who is? God? It's hard to be mad at God, it's so abstract, and so futile.
Be gentle on yourself. I'll be thinking of you and your angel today.
