Those people wanted you on drugs for their benefit, not yours. The west simply does not deal with grief and would rather everyone stayed happy all the time, even if it means being doped up six ways till Sunday. It's almost like it's a sin to be sad or something, but sadness is a part of life. I got the same line when my mom died. It's infuriating. I am sorry about your husband and mother, though. That had to be so very hard.

It might be darker. Despair is an aspect of Sloth, one of the Seven Deadlies. Trap people via drugs into a major sin spiral and think of the implications! Goes for "wellness", too, which feeds vanity and pride. They all layer up so prettily. Skip the drugs, maybe learn to pray instead. Sorry for your losses.
