How tragic. So sorry this horrible drug, this horrible disease has struck so close to you.
Besides being an addict, your friend was many things. try to remember this as you mourn him.

do you have a favorite memory of him you would like to share? if so, i'd love to read it. i have found that telling those kinds of stories is a genuine comfort. but if this doesn't feel like the time, that's ok, too.

i hope you will be gentle with yourself as you struggle with this painful, sad loss.
