My uncle overdosed and is up in heaven now...

I'm glad to here it, I figured it was just bitter irony.

If it wasn't, it probably would have been feelings from a religious relative.
I have some friends who are asking for prayers/well wishes, after the husband (LEO and friend) was shot in the head a couple weeks back. For them, religion is hope.

UA the Anon groups (as opposed to AA and NA) provide support for family members. A few years ago I attended a Nar Anon group with several mothers who had lost children to opiate overdoses. They found it helpful.

I bet there are a lot of NarcAnon groups in your area, OP. Opioids are such an enormous problem there. It can really help to deal with one's anger.
