[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 759652, member: 23706"] I feel terrible about your daughter too. She was young. I am so sorry. I lost a young son to cancer. I did not go to a grief group. I could barely get out of bed. It was different for me than my daughter. Although if I had forced myself to get grief help then I may have done better. My husband did go to a grief group and he was able to hold together better than me. But I did not go with him. I guess that as sad as my daughter's story is, she is still alive so a Nar Anon group helps me rather than hurts. Although I do hear sad stories, Nar Anon is more about me than about Kay. The first step is that we acknowledge that we are powerless over our addict and that our life has become unmanageable. So the group is about the ways we can learn to cope with this fact....that we are powerless over another person, even if that is our beloved child. For me, a main took is God. There are many tools, not all religious. I find Nar Anon to be a group filled with hope, at least for the parents. So for me these issues were not the same. Not that one is worse than the other....they are both soul killing. Trust me. I know. I hope and pray that you find help and relief. Much love. [/QUOTE]
