Just lost my 20 year old cousin to an OD. It’s easy to acknowledge but so hard to not feel pain for his immediate family, especially his young brother. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thank you❤ I also just found out that I lost a friend and it just shocked me. It's been a week since I found out and the last time that I talked to him it seemed like as if I thought I was gonna be able to talk to him again and see him again but days after he died of an overdose and I didn't even know it. I didn't expect it. He was such an amazing person and he encouraged so many people, He had a beautiful heart and spirit. My friend David will forever be missed but never forgotten❤
I'm sorry for your loss as well. Unfortunately it happens so often And it's going to keep happening. Things get better with time. I hope you find peace and solice. if you need a stranger to talk to I'm here
I lost my best friend in June or 2023. He died from a fentanyl overdose. He was by himself, up late at night smoking. its a trip that this guy who was so full of life and energy and love made a simple mistake and took just a little bit too much, but that little bit was just enough to get him to the point of no return. And now the friend ( more like a brother ) ive had for the last 18 years is no more and will never be again. I miss him dearly and sometimes wish I couldve went with him.
@@evonball4626 thank you. Even though we've never met and probably never will meet or know each other I feel like you're being genuine. I appreciate you taking the time to give your condolences
I have a friend that is very dear to me. I really love him for the person he is (was). But He is taking more and more drugs. I barely recognise him anymore. I`m afraid of losing him completely.
I lost the friendship of a good friend, to drugs, 3 years ago. I'm against drugs. He got in with people, who did drugs. His personality changed & he became a nasty guy. He'd do jobs for people, to get money. Then he'd use people for money & not bother to do the work. He'd ask for the money, first. I had to cut him out of my life. It was painful to see him, as he had become, a drug addict. I had tried, at first, to be a friend to him. But he was a changed guy, verbally abusive to me, angry & he had erratic moods. He also became violent. I couldn't cope, so I had to walk away & go 'no contact'. He is still alive, but he's not well. It saddens me to see him like this. 😥 We had a great friendship, he used to be a lovely, kind guy. This was until he got involved with druggies & turned on me & his other good friends, who don't touch drugs. 😥
