I miss the nights we would watch tv together, casa Bonita, the duck store, and mostly I miss the plans I have always hoped for. I’m sorry addiction and mental health won this battle, but I promise to battle for you. Everyone misses you very much dad. I love you forever.

I miss how we used to laugh until we were crying or peeing, whichever came first!!! I miss your cute little feet, and how much you loved your cats, and I promise they were in GREAT HANDS, myself included. Can’t believe it’s close to 8 years now. Your momma misses you terribly, but I will look after her as well, we got very close friends after u left. I love her too! I will stock up on plenty of Irish spring for snack time…lol. see ya in the not to awful distance. Love you

Miss you so much since you overdosed on July 7, 1990.
Love you. Laurie

He had a heart of gold that filled with grief and shame after years of addiction and mental illness. July 6 marked four years since I lost my little brother to an overdose. Since September is Overdose Awareness month, as well as his birth month, I dedicate this tribute in memory of him. I miss you so much. I pray that you are at peace. Happy 37th Birthday in heaven. I love you forever, Louie. 🕊️ ✝️💜

My Momma – born June 26, 1967, in Sacramento, California.

I miss her.

My mom taught me to laugh at myself; and more importantly, to laugh at others. 😛

Like most moms’, my momma loved her family; she was the glue that held our family together; and as such, it fell apart in her absence.

I lost my dad in 2019, but I had 10 years to prepare myself for that. I still am not sure what is worse – the suddenness of an overdose or the lingering, anticipatory grief that accompanies a terminal illness.

Until that night in 2016, I had no idea what grief felt like. I did not know that when you lose someone, you also lose part of yourself – a part you will never get back because it has shattered into a million pieces. That you will try picking up the pieces and reassemble them exactly as they had been before – but you soon realize all of the secondary losses, and it is starting to sink in that there is no way you will be able to avoid this. You realize the unfairness of it – a bump in the road is one thing, but this is an entire changing of the course.

And eventually, once you accept your new reality, you grow despite the piece thats missing. And you realize that this is a wound time will never heal. You will always carry it with you. This is when you can finally look at pictures, watch those videos you saved where you can hear her laugh. Now you can remember her beauty in and out and you can share it with the world in a positive light – which is what she would want you to do anyways.

An overdose carried with it a bit of shame – so remind yourself of their strength. My momma was a fighter.

And I miss her.

My mother Denise died alone of an overdose while living unhoused in Fresno. It was habit she had tried to kick since I was born, but after losing custody of my sister and I (this time permanently) she worked hard to get sober.

I didn’t find out until I was older my mother was living with schizophrenia and PTSD, both of which were untreated. I wish she could have gotten access to the mental healthcare and housing she needed. Despite being a young and struggling adult myself at the time of her passing, I have felt guilty these past not being able to do more.

This year I finally earned my masters degree and will be getting married in the fall. I wish you could share these celebrations with me. I love you mama, I understand you, and I forgive you. I won’t forget you in the work I do, how I treat others, and how I move through this world. Thank you for the laughter, car karaoke, and a love for reading.

But now that you’re not here it’s even more clear. He misses you so much daddy, it’s been so hard to try to find ways for him to understand you’re gone. I’ve told him to look In the sky you’re always watching us. I never imagined I’d just be him & I now. We had it all 7 years together we created a family together we raised our baby for 3 years and that’s all we got.. I’m heartbroken I’m lost I’m holding on for our son. I love you more then words forever my Sam Sam🫶🏼 Caden will always know daddy is forever in our hearts..

Every day I grieve for you. Miss your bear hugs. You are loved by more people than you knew. A hole in my heart that will never heal. Clean for so long and then relapse took you down. So many what ifs. You were so kind and caring to all and giving to those who went without. I love you Bro and your name is spoken daily. You name sake is so much like you, His voice sounds like you and his walk. The sense of humour you had lives on in all the children. Until we meet again (I know your spirit is aways here)
Love bi sis

Sweetheart
We are approaching the third anniversary of the day we lost you, September 12,2021 at the age of 26.
We tried so hard to get you through this but that devastating and powerful disease was too much and you unfortunately were not able to overcome it.
We love and miss you so much,
