'When addicts overdose or die unexpectedly, loved ones often say at least they're at a better place. Perhaps this a way for survivors to
console themselves or alleviate their own guilt'.
Get real, they have put us through
HELL, we actually
DO believe they are in a better place.
As a mother of an addict and ex spouse of a suspected addict THANK YOU FOR DISAGREEING!!!
