Since April of this year I have lost 3 people

Hello fellow members of this forum,


 My name is Linda. Beginning in April of this year, my dear friend Milton passed away. I knew him for over 10 years and I think of him all the time.  Then in July my Godmother Helen died after a long hospital stay. Now sadly my good friend, another Linda, died on August 9th of a drug overdose.  I didn't find out until the 12th of August when I attempted to reach her and did not hear back. Her mom texted me asking me to call her and I found out she was already gone.


I keep thinking "Is there's something I missed which would earned me?" I have wracked my brain and there was no clues that she was in danger of using. She had several years clean and seemed to be doing well. A mutual friend of us reminded me that she could have used in  "celebration". 


   Please spray for the souls of my recently departed volved ones: Milton, Helen and now Linda H.

I am so very sorry for your losses.... Grief is so painful and it's a process......

I think that this pandemic has really triggered stress for a lot of people.... So drug use may have been something to take away the stress

Gentle hug and a blessing....xo

Hi, Linda. Sad welcome to you. Change can often bring about sadness, especially at the loss of a friend, close one too. Pull up a chair and sit down. I understand the heavy load of heartbreak. I hope that Milton, Helen, and Linda H. remain in your thoughts and prayers with a sense of acceptance and peace of mind. Takes time to deal with strong emotions and it takes all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind to keep the memory of loving friendship with peaceful feelings. I hope the best for you.

    Which explains the mysterious fevers and my extra fatigue. I'm so glad I pushed for answers.

    Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.
