Someone gave me a rock awhile back as a special gift. I got too emotionally involved in this person's tragedy and ended up infringing on this person's space by contacting the person's family online. The rock to me is a reminder that I unintentionally hurt someone and brings back bad memories. I want to get rid of it because it makes me think about what I did wrong and because I'm trying to block out the memory of the person who gave it to me. But everytime I try to throw it away, I feel guilty and can't bring myself to do it.
I no longer contact the person who gave it to me and do not involve myself in other people's business anymore.
Please help me, what should I do with this rock?

You´ll still remember it, even if you give away the rock, which I actually think you should. Anyway, if you contacted this person´s family because you cared about him/her and you were trying to help, what you did couldn´t have been that bad....

keep it, but dont feel bad about it. you didnt mean to hurt them, this rock can be a reminder for you to think carefully before you do something. Throwing away a gift if horrible, it makes you seem heartless, good thing you didnt. You're a nice person, cuz you felt bad for doing something you shouldnt have. we cant change the past but the future is always in front of us, that's why learn from your mistakes instead of avoiding it.

Bury it underground in the woods. That will represent you laying to rest that undesirable part of you that will never come back. It's gone for good and a rock belongs in the dirt anyway. Or throw it in a lake.

You should bury this rock. it will help you get rid of the feelings that you feel. because burying something is like releasing it or letting go. this might help you with letting go of your bad or guilty feelings also

I would either put it away somewhere that you know you will forget about it, or even give it away. Ive received things like that in my life, but no matter if you give it away, you still have that memory. the pain wont go away overnight, but in time, you'll forget all about it.

Find a person, who you deem a "jerk" and give the rock to him or her, as a token of your "friendship" !!!
