Virginia Ironside: Next week's dilemma

Can you help with this problem? Email your suggestions below

Dear Virginia,

A couple of months ago, my father died. He was suffering from an incurable illness and had always asked us to see he didn't suffer, and I was able to ask the doctor to give him what presumably was an injection that killed him.

But since then, I've felt absolutely terrible. I feel I murdered him. There's no one I can talk to about this in case I'm prosecuted. What can I do? I feel so guilty, I don't know how I can cope.

Yours sincerely, Andrea
