So many people whose lives have been changed by tragedy find ways to make a difference. My husband counsels people whose loved ones struggle with addiction. I am a therapist. Certainly, I work with clients whose family members also struggle with addiction. But it doesn't feel like enough. Should I be publishing more on the web, speaking out with Andrew's story, making my whole work about the challenging task of stopping opioid addiction?
Frankly, it was too painful to do...felt like diving into a black hole rather than helping me or others these past years. I'm still tentative, not sure of what I should do, what would help but feel I should do more. What is enough? when the epidemic goes on; people like Andrew die every day? What is enough?
