Im so sorry to hear that.

I will say a prayer for you and your family. I lost my uncle to the exact same thing so I understand how upset you are. Just trust in god and make sure you are there for your family.
 
My deepest condolences. Please don't blame yourself and torture yourself with what ifs. You did everything you could. Be there for your family and let them be there for you.

If you need to talk, just shoot me a pm or an e-mail.
 
I'm sorry for your loss.

Take care of your family - they'll need you.
Don't blame yourself - these were your brother's choices.
Take a vacation - it'll help clear your mind.
Have a cookie.

It's good to see the nice side of ATOTers. Posts like these seperate the people that pretend to be assholes from the real assholes (of which we have a few in this thread).
 
damn, sorry to hear that 🙁. I think if the same happend to my brother, I'd die instantly.... can't imagine living without my big bro'.
 
I lost my brother when he was 25. It was a very sad time for me. He went to Florida to help my little brother get away from drugs and the drug dealer shot him up with a speedball. He was braindead for over a week before my biological Mom took him off life support. FYI: I was adopted by my Great Uncle when I was two weeks old, but it was still like I lost my brother. He technically became my cousin after I was adopted, but he was the one that told me what happened when I got older. I loved him as a brother eventhough he technically wasn't.

I have tears now because I know exactly how it feels. It is so hard to accept especially when you wonder "what would have happened if I had been there." Just understand that it will never go away, but it will get easier in time. Trust me on that. Help those you can and let his death help save others. Don't let his death mean nothing. Take your anger and display it towards a positive thing. Set up a foundation, help catch drug dealers, etc.

If there is anything I can do please let me know.

:brokenheart:
 
I'm sorry to hear that. I will pray for you and your family tonight. 🙁

and people wonder why this man is hated. Like I said, if I met him in public I would hit him.(multiple times)

Jim, Im sorry for your loss, please know that my condolences are with you and your family.

 
Fettsbabe, thank you, your words mean a lot to me. My mom and dad are pretty much incapacitated so I have taken on the role of taking care of the dirty business. I'm calling around to mortuaries, it's such a daunting task. Thank you all for your words, with the exception of a few which I will not pay attention to because they aren't worth it.
 
There are some really nice people in the mortuary business, get a recommendation from someone you trust and go there. It will make that part of it much easier. Stop by or PM the nice folks here if you need to talk and No one else is around/in the mood.
 
people who make the choice to do drugs deserve what they get. it's sad, but to me it is true. I am sorry for what this experience has put you and your family through, though.

people who use drugs need to realize it's not only their lives they affect.

🙁
 
I have lost 3 close friends in the last year, 1 to homocide, and 2 to completely freak accidents. It is so hard to deal with knowing that one small event on your part might have prevented it. I still havent really come to terms with one of my friends being gone. I can only re-state what others have said, all you can really do is try to make something positive come out of this. Whether that be resolving yourself to be a better person, or trying to help others to avoid your brothers mistake. Good luck to your family, and my whole hearted condolences.
 
This thread is SO fishy.

What I see, is a parody of the Meth factory thread, linked to a parody of the athiest threads.

Then a ploy to sell items.
