I lost my sister Nikki June 18 2019 to a drug overdose that I believe was intentional. Unfortunately her wife of 8 years passed away on May 27 2019 due to complications from diabetes. My sister and I were really close before her addiction got really bad and I had to protect my family. It’s not that I didn’t love her, I tried to get her help but she refused. I blame myself for not reaching out to her in time. I had a gut feeling that once her wife passed she didn’t want to be alive and I think that is what bothers me more. I missed her before her passing but now I miss her even more cause I can never tell her that I loved her.

Overdose affects everyone. From grieving families to spontaneous first responders, the impacts of overdose are far-reaching and fall indiscriminately.
