My ex-boyfriend who I tried my best to remain friends with and who carried a torch for me for two years after we broke up took his own life the other day. I have been feeling immense amounts of guilt because he tried to ruin subsequent relationships in the hope that I would get back with him, which was never going to happen. He never truly moved on and became depressed. I never took it seriously, and now it's too late. His sister has told me that, whilst she and her brother and father realise that he was beyong help and it was in no way my fault, their mother feels I could have given him another chance and blames me for the death.
The thing is is that beneath all the sadness, he was actually a lovely guy and I feel I'd be doing him a great disservice by not attending. My boyfriend says I should go, but I don't want to cause more upset for his mother. What do you think? Any good advice would be most helpful because I don't know which way to go.
