Thanks Sweetie.. I know at the time i wrote this i was really down.. As far as hurting Harrison.. when i was doing CPR i am almost certain that I bropke his ribs, and also because of the CPR he wasnt pronounced dead until 45 minutes after Hilary so I worried ALOT that I had caused him pain...

as I understand it, ribs quite often get broken when the heart compressions are done. And I'm sure if it was me, and to try to save me you had to break a few bones... I wouldn't mind the bones being broken.

So stop feeling guilty.

What if I crack a rib when I do CPR?

Frequently ribs are broken with the pressure CPR places on the sternum. Some studies quote up to 30% of cardiac arrest victims have broken ribs as a result of CPR. [...] But remember, it's better to have a cracked rib than be dead.

IF (and there's a big if in that) he did experience any pain, he knew you were trying to save him. if it was me, I'd be grateful for the attempt and for knowing you were there. I'm sure neither of them holds you in any way at fault, Josh... it's time to stop taking on guilt that you don't deserve.​
