I'm so sorry for your loss...I know the pain of losing a loved one to addiction. (My daughter) I went through some of those feeling of what else could I have done, but as I have worked my own recovery through Naranon, I've found acceptance in the understanding that I did the best I could and I am not powerful enough to "cure" the disease. It takes time, but I have found comfort in the memories of the beautiful young woman I was blessed to have in my life for just 20 short years.
My thoughts are with you. Your friend was very fortunate to have such a caring and loving friend. Hang close to all the support you can...know that others care and be very, very gentle with yourself as you journey through this grieving process. We all grieve in our own way, but by walking through the pain, we can get to a place of peace.
