Sunday 31 August marks International Overdose Awareness Day. It’s where we remember, without stigma, those who have died and acknowledge the grief of family and friends left behind.
For those family and friends, their loved one is remembered not by how they passed, but for who they were, and the memories they created.
Too often, the stigma surrounding drug use can make it seem like the grief of those bereaved by overdose is somehow less valid. But grief is grief, and no one should have to justify how they feel or how they remember someone they loved.
We remember them as fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, sons, daughters, colleagues and friends.
It’s time for the stigma to end. We stand beside anyone who has lost a loved one to overdose.
We are WithYou 💙🤍
