Don't I know, my stepbrother overdosed on drugs laced with fentanyl and died. His so called "friends" didn't call for help until it was too late. He was trying to stop doing drugs, but he had a hard time, kept going back to it. He was so young, in his twenties, about 4 months younger than my oldest child. (yeah, my dad's wife is much younger than him)
My middle son has 2 best friends since kindergarten. One lost his older brother a couple years ago to OD, then a couple months ago lost his younger sister to the same. His other best friend just lost his only sister to OD. I've been to 3 funerals in the last couple years of 20-somethings. It's horrific
Sorry to hear that, it is horrific. What a shame these kids get hooked on drugs or feel they have no other recourse but to take their lives for whatever is going on in their lives that they feel they can't handle. It's very sad.
What I didn't say in my comment above was that my stepbrother died of OD almost a year to the date that his (our) younger sister died of OD on Benadryl, (this may be the reason he started drugs again) she meant to do it as she had some things going on that she felt she couldn't take anymore. However, I don't think my brother was trying to OD, he was trying to get high and what he took was laced with fentanyl, whether he knew it or not I don't know. And those were the only two children my father and stepmother had together.
I am so so sorry to hear that. I don't think these young people meant to OD either, just trying to get high and we all remember being that age and thinking bad things happen to those people and not us.
