Cocaine laced with fentanyl. OD'd in the bathtub. Wasn't even (remotely) a regular user; just having a little extra fun on New Years. Was about to finalize the adoption of his and his wife's baby girl too

Another one from alcohol, fell asleep in the bath

Another one from an undiagnosed heart condition

Another from a peritoneal infection from peritoneal dialysis (they had sickle cell)

My sister from benzos and falling asleep in the bath

All of them in their 30's. Been a difficult few years of losing friends/family for me, ngl

    That's really rough. I hope you are doing OK and taking care of yourself.

    I am doing ok, and thank you. I try my best to take care of myself and have gotten much better at identifying/modifying maladaptive coping methods. It's always a work in progress lol

    I've worked around a lot of death as an ICU nurse, which I think has helped me with a little insight into "how to process". You're never ready when it's someone you love and especially when it's sudden, but seeing other people go through it regularly can give you a different view sometimes, I believe. But thank you again friend
