John’s suicide wasn’t Josie’s fault, but it’s hard for Josie to accept that right now. Because he’d expressed suicidal thoughts to her before, she feels a sense of responsibility to him—and now feels like she failed him. But for as lost and upset as Josie is, she nevertheless has both Mama and Michael with her to help get her through this. They might not be able to make her feel better right now, but they can show her through their actions that they care for her.
