I think this should go in the dark side forum. Either way I'm sorry for your loss man.
There's plenty of support in that forum so you should take advantage of it

I'm very sorry to hear about what happened.
There are things that loved ones can do to help protect family members who are afflicted with heroin/opiate addiction. For one, you should make sure that you have naloxone (narcan) on hand, this can acutely reverse the overdose so that you have time to safely get them help. Often the narcan will wear off before heroin will, so you should still get someone to the ER if they overdose.
However having narcan on hand makes a huge difference in being able to save someone's life who has overdosed. It's important to make sure a user has someone else to make sure they don't instantly black out - otherwise you may not have enough time to self-administer naloxone sadly.
Much
to you and your family.

I'm so sorry, driller. This time of year is really hard when you are missing a family member since there is so much focus on family being all together. When you say it is a "dark secret" do you mean that the cause of his death is being kept secret?
Must be tough on you this time of the year,
So Sorry to hear of Your Loss,
I'm glad you picked here to talk about it, folks on here have a heart.
My uncle recently lost his wife. He seems very lost, I called him the other day &
made him think new happy thought's for 3 hours!
Fuk depression
I had to make a rule about crying
when my best friend died in 2010,
Now I only cry in the morning before work.
That way I know after that time that crying
is simply not permitted. I can't be wasting my whole damn day crying for all my old
friends.
