What's even worse though, is that because her brother quite clearly OD'd on purpose, and other circumstances that happened right before he died, she blames herself for his death. Which I think is probably the biggest issue for her right now. And really, as a friend there's not a whole lot you can do to help there except emphatically stress that it wasn't her fault and she did the best that she could. She needs to go to a counselor to work on all this stuff to really get help. I don't know if she will or not, but I wasn't going to suggest it while we were talking in a loud bar while she intoxicated. She did say that just telling me everything was a huge relief though, and that I now know more about her than anyone else at work. I don't know why she picked me to unload on, but I do feel honored, in a way.
