Dearest Annie

Firstly, I am so sorry about the loss of your dear sister. You probably know more than most how addiction takes over and controls the addicts life and also, their loved ones. There is nothing we can do to make them stop and it has to come from them. Once in the grip of active addiction they don’t want to change or stop.

Have YOU had some support? Someone to talk to. Do you think this would’ve something that may help you?

If we had hindsight we would answer the calls, the messages but we don’t and that is painful. I am sure you did everything and more for your sister and now you are left with the pain of her lose.

Cruse is amazing helping with Bereavement. Have you considered contacting them?

Message me if I can help just even for a chat.

You are not alone I promise.

Sending you much love.
