Dreamer- I cried for much of 5 days straight during Friends and Family program at my Brother's rehab. In addition to what was going on with my brother, I got word that the man I loved had died DUI the morning the program was starting. I felt guilty about even being there, that I might detract from the program.
I am glad I stayed. People were so compassionate. Everyone knows the pain, and feels it too. I was able to contribute and that program helped me immensely.
