You’re words touch me on so many levels. Although I have yet to lose my loved ones to drugs addiction it will eventually happen as they have been on this path for basically all my life. I too get angry sometimes. But you are right. They don’t want to die. They just don’t know how to live. And that itself causes grief. I’m grieving now and one day will grove their death. I hate when people ask how someone died as if it dilutes the value of their life or celebration of their life. My heart reached a out to all Joey loved and was loved by. May you find peace.
