It is painful to feel
sad emotions. Grieving, being
sad, sorrowful, missing loved ones who have died are all emotions that are hard to deal with and process.
The opiates kill those emotions and bury them deep into your heart, mind and soul. It is important to let them surface which they will as you go through detox. Please get help in order to process them from therapy, clergy and grief support groups.
I am so happy you have great support from your family that is so important.
