How do you get rid of the guilt when you can't find the right help for someone you loved so very much. I knew he was killing himself but still watched him do it until his heart stopped. I think about it all the time and wished that I had done something. My mother still blames the doctors for not giving him a new heart but I blame the drug and lack of education on what this drug can do. I lost my brother and was left with guilt. He was a wonderful man to everyone but himself.

You can't save someone from himself. You could no more save him from his addiction than you could have saved him if it was cancer that killed him.
Helpless is an awful feeling, but you were helpless to stop your brother's self destruction. He had free will when he tried Meth the first time, but lost it shortly after that when the addiction took hold.
I'm sorry for your loss, and I hope you can find peace with it some day.

first of all its neither your fault nor the doct. you cant help an addict unless they want the help
we all have choices to make and thats the life he chose for himself you cant blame yourself for something you cant control

You should feel guilty if you never made even one attempt to help him.
