Just lost my little sister due to a possible OD 💔

On March 1st. about a month ago. This has really knocked the wind out of me. One of my worst nightmares is now reality. Due to my medication I’m grieving in very wierd ways. Just feel exhausted like a huge part of my life is also over. My mom said she called the state medical examiner’s office and they said it could take up to 6 month’s to get her blood work back. According to my brother in law my sister had been using cash app alot again about a week leading up to her death and he found a metal pipe. She was however sick with pneumonia too. She had been clean for almost 2 year’s from Fentanol. She had been working as a Peer Recovery Specialist and we we’re all so proud of her (still am). She has a 10 year old daughter. We called my baby sister Moo. I wanted to play this song at her funeral but I didn’t think of it in time and they had already picked everything out. I’m still here just a little lost right now.

Thank you so much Jazzy :purple_heart: I haven’t cleaned my house in a month other than dishes and laundry. I started yesterday with a new goal to try to get 1 room a day done until I’m back on track.

Totally understandable. A lot to process. Like the manageable goals. Even still …take care of yourself first. The house cleaning stuff can all wait :people_hugging:

My condolences friend. The harsh reality is that not many of us make it, and to treasure every day we have because we are a miracle and we owe it to the still suffering addicts to stay clean and achieve long-term recovery so we can help them save their lives and live clean.

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope you avoid using as a result.
