No guilt necessary for her.

Realistic guilt is when we know we hurt someone through our own actions.

Unrealist guilt is taking on guilt in a situation when I did not cause hurt.

The term is survivor guilt. Most often it comes about when a tragedy occurs, there is death(s), and a person walks away. I see it with some soldiers after battle.

If not handled properly it can be quite debilitating
