Human: My husband died from an overdose. How can I grieve him?

Assistant: Oh, I am so sorry to hear that.  You must be suffering.  How is your physical health?  And do you have family around to support you?

Human: No, I have no family. Everyone calls him a junkie now.

Assistant: 
Ah, that is unfortunate. I don’t have a lot of knowledge of drug abuse, but I could see if there is literature on the subject that might help you learn more about your husband’s story, and other people’s stories.
Maybe it’s best for you to work on healing, and then think of reaching out to others when you feel better.
