((Michael))
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy at the loss of your precious loved one. I hate so much that the disease of addiction took another precious light from our world.
Please know You didn't Cause, You couldn't have controlled it and You couldn't have cured it - even if you had known about it.
It wasn't your fault ~ Michael - please, know the disease makes our loved ones to hide almost everything from us - It's is NOT your fault ~
As you begin this process of grief, please know that it is OK to take care of YOU - I truly believe our loved ones that have passed one would want that for us left here ~
I believe that it is ok to do what is healthy for ourselves - therapy, rest, self-care, prayer, meditation, posting here on SR, group sessions - whatever helps you thru the process - To help you feel whole again.
You are worth it and you DESERVE it.
Again, my sympathy in your loss, and please keep reaching out for support and care.
PINK HUGS,
Rita
