It’s been five years this September since I got the call of the hardest loss I would face to that date. The second call I received of a beautiful young life lost to overdose. In that moment I didn’t realize the losses that were still to come. The losses we will eventually face. Overdose does not discriminate. Today we remember those we lost to Overdose. All I know is, it continues to be my mission to advocate for those struggling. Talking about the person Matters, the people before the drugs. They matter. The lack of resources, support and understanding in our community, matters. The lack of human dignity, the understanding of the depth behind addictions, matters. It starts with our kids, it starts with breaking those generational traumas, and it starts with compassion for our neighbours! 💜 but today, let’s just remember!💜
