My beautiful girl died of a mixed drug overdose on July 2, 2018, 22 days before her 28th birthday. I have so many feelings of guilt and regret. We tried tough love, and it didn’t work. Instead, my beautiful, funny & smart girl died feeling isolated, sad and ashamed. I hope she knows how much we all loved her. My husband and I are raising her 4 year old son, who we have had custody of for 2 years. I hope my first born, my only daughter, my sweet Amber Nicole is finally at peace.

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