Is there a word for "self-forgiveness" in Japanese?

We all make mistakes. What he needed was for people to rally around him and provide moral support. Unfortunately, he died months later, some say from a broken spirit.

@Conchobhar It is widely suspected that he was murdered. This drunken show was also rumored that he was spiked in his wine by Yomiuri newspaper editor. He can drink a lot, he is young, he does not get drunk with few sips of wine!! February 13, Nakgawa signed the terms of Japan's $100 billion commitment on under a borrowing agreement designed to temporarily supplement the IMF Fund's financial resources. He talked directly, so he had many enemies, especially China/ Korea side. J media is red.
