My deepest sympathies for the loss of someone you so cared so much about - and whose life story ended far too soon. Yet another soul unable to escape addiction’s powerful and destructive grasp.
And those left behind will forever wonder “what if?” ... haunted by knowing if he had just made different choices, perhaps there could have been a very different outcome.
Just over 4 years ago, I also helplessly watched a once healthy, strong, productive human being’s tragic decline into a sickly, frail, confused shell of what he had once been - as he spiraled rapidly towards his final days ... until his torment finally ended. My husband left behind a damaged family, feeling lost and confused ... and we will forever wonder ... “what if?”
May your loved one finally have the peace that so eluded him in life. May you also find peace in knowing you were powerless to change the tragic and heartbreaking outcome.
