"You can't carry the weight for both of you" [View all]

I'm reading "We Begin at the End" and this line struck me:

"You were cursed with pathological honestly. You carry weight you don't even see."

My friend died Dec. 29. We had a dumb argument and had not seen each other. I have been wracked with grief and guilt. No way to make things right. My Pastor told me that I cannot carry the weight for both of us. That's probably why that line stood out to me today.
