When families navigate blame and guilt after losing someone to addiction

My wife died from an overdose eight months ago and our teenage daughter blames me for not saving her, while I blame myself for enabling. We're both drowning in guilt and grief but we can't seem to reach each other across it.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The death of someone from addiction often leaves survivors with competing versions of responsibility and grief that can isolate them from each other.
