Dear Zep,
I was only thinking about this yesterday when I was having coffee with my mum. As I looked at her with absolute unconditional adoration, I wondered how I would handle( god forbid) her death or someone else's in my family or a close friend. As I lost my younger brother, suddenly, in a car accident just in August of last year and when I think back to that time, I'm here to tell you all, the experience of losing a loved one is crippling. Even dealing with your grief months after, the strongest cravings can come when I'm thinking of my brother and I'm sad. You're so very right Zep. I realised with your post, at this point I would most definitely be a prime target. I can see myself embracing my addiction in 'my time of need'. The death of a loved one is to me, the ultimate trial. I mean, mentally and physically, a grieving person is at their weakest and most vulnerable time. 'Sometimes', in grief, for a period of time, the last thing you want to think about is prolonging your life. Especially, when the loved one you have lost, is a partner or a child. Facing the reality of death is something all of us will have to deal with at some time in our lives and protecting our quit may fall to the bottom of our list of priorities, so we need to prepare ourselves. We need a back-up switch to click in when our senses, check out. I know I have a lot of work in front of me. Thanks Zep. Powerful post.
