Grief and Recovery
The most unimaginable horrifying loss in the world is losing a child or a loved one from the disease of addiction or any other reason for that matter. I have friends who's lives have been changed forever. Some who can't move away from the pain no matter how hard they try, some who have taken their pain and used it to help heal other families by educating them.
Everyone handles grief differently, in their own way and in their own time. There are no rules, but if you are having so much pain from your loss that you can't function or enjoy even the simplest things in life then you could benefit from a little love, fellowship, counseling and conversation with people who understand and have been there.
