Hugs. And pretty much ditto on everyone above.

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend. If you were one of the few people still in touch with him, there really isn’t much more you could have done. I wish you all the strength and support you need during this time.

I hope that you’re okay. I’m really sorry, although I hate how trite that sounds. Look after yourself lovely, I know it’s going to be shit.

I am really sorry for your loss. I can understand how you feel, but at the same time I want to join in with everbody else who has said that it is not your fault. Addiction is something the addict has to overcome themselves, nobody else can do that for them. Even if you had known, you couldn’t have prevented him from taking pills if that was what he wanted to. *Hugs*

I join the chorus of folks offering their sympathy to you and your friend’s friends and family. Reminds me of my discovery that an escort I was seeing late last year was doing heroin in my bathroom while here. She didn’t want to hear anything from me, a paying customer, about the dangers of her lifestyle. But as she became more comfortable with me, she took her habit out of the bathroom and I found how she used the cash she got from our visits to feed her needs. I even went with her once to make a buy. Our last time together she was so totally fucked up that the time together was no fun at all. All she wanted to do was sleep. I’ve tried to reach her a few times since then, but have had no reply. I can only hope that she is ok.

Oh sweetie I’m so sorry, that’s so devastating. I hear you on the feeling of guilt that you can’t dispel although you rationally know it doesn’t belong; I hope you can just keep reminding yourself that you are in no way culpable.

I’m so sorry for your loss. No matter how someone you care about dies, one always finds a way to feel guilty. I think it’s a human reaction. It’s not your fault; it’s just a part of grieving. Be well, dear one. ::hug::

Shit, that sucks. I had a friend who OD’d too, so I know how you must be feeling. . It sounds cliche, but if people don’t want to be helped, then there’s nothing you can do.

I am very sorry for your loss. I can’t imagine the pain and guilt that you are feeling right now.

I also feel bad for his other friends and family. I hate when people die young.

I’m really sorry to hear about that.

I’ve never had somebody close to me die, so I can’t even begin to imagine what it must be like for you right now, but you have my sympathies. I think guilt is a normal reaction when something horrible happens to someone we care about because we just wish we could make it better but we’re helpless to do anything about it. I know you know this, but it’s not your fault. Not even a little bit. I wish there was something I could say to make it better. *hugs*
