Keith, what an incredibly heart-wrenching account. I am very sorry for your loss and appreciate your effort to share your experience so that others may learn from your painful experience. My husband and I just started watching the mini-series Painkiller, and were horrified how greed drove the oxycontin crisis. It is painful to watch, but shows how broken the system is. Thank you for writing.

My condolences for your loss. Thank you for your brave witness. I pray that the Joy of Christ may envelop your family this Christmas season.

Keep writing! Although I have no particular experience in the cross you have carried your writing gives me encouragement to carry mine.

Have you read Theodore Dalrymple's book "Romancing Opiates"?
