If I go to Nar-Anon, is it prohibited to talk about suicides via overdose from a loved one. I was one of those that NEVER thought I would be a suicide survivor. I haven't been able to sleep more than a couple hours a night since I heard this disturbing news.

Welcome to SR, Katnip, and indeed you have come to the right forum.
I am so sorry, this must have been a terrible shock even though you had been estranged from him.
To answer your question above, it is not prohibited, and in fact you may find that you are not the only person in the room who has lost someone to death because of addiction. I encourage you to go, meetings can help you more than you can imagine today, and I promise you that you won't regret it.
Alsp, stick around and read some of the sticky posts at the top. They may help you too to understand that it is not your fault. You didn't cause it, can't control it and can't cure it...and you are not responsible for the outcome. Nothing we do or don't do makes a whit of difference if the addict chooses to remain active in their addiction. All the love in the world cannot save them, if it could not one of us would be here.
Sharing your pain may help in some way to lighten your load. There are others here who may come along who have also lost loved ones to death from addiction, and they can share what helped them get through it.
Just know that we're here and we care.
Hugs
