It sounds like you are suffering from survivor guilt. It can be experienced by someone who was unable to save everyone during a rescue operation, among other situations. It has been absorbed into the general diagnosis of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and has varying degrees of effect on the people involved.
Talking to a counsellor or other people who have survived similiar situations in a group setting could be a way to see the situation clearly and help you put it in perspective.
Here is a web site that has some basic information about what you are going through:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Survivor_guilt
If it helps, if I was that mom and you tried to help I would be so very thankful that someone cared enough to make an effort- no matter the outcome. She and the child or children that DID survive may not have made it without you.
Bless you and I hope you come to terms with the situation for your own peace of mind.

You should be proud of yourself for trying to help!!! It is not your fault that yo coudl not get to them all in time. You are probably suffering from PTSD. After that kind of experience, you may need some counseling or some sleeping pills at the least. Just remember that you are a hero. You did all you could and I am sure the mother will never forget your efforts. Thank you for all you did!!! Good luck in all you do.

You did the best you can do and a lot more than most people. You need to go talk to someone and get some consoling.

God bless you for trying. You need to talk to someone in a counseling capacity to get this worked out in your head - so you don't have to carry it around. Investigate counseling resources....and thanks for trying.
