for addictions. There are those who still would scorn and condemn the victims and refuse a to offer a helping hand. There is much left to do.
Whenever one of these people die, either accidentaly or intentionally, we who have been involved in their life and had hoped and looked for their recovery have a feeling of guilt. That something more should have been done or done differently; that we should have loved them better.
It is probably easier for us who have suffered addiction and recovered to cope with the guilt than do those in the family. We, who have recovered but not know why we were chosen to survive.
We just know that through providence or the turn of the cards we have lived and are grateful. We know from experience that some do not survive though they cared and struggled just as much as we, who did. And that is just the way it is.
The families of the victims are the ones who bear the burden of grief and guilt that we cannot relieve.
