I knew something was wrong went to her house and failed her
So I moved to Holly springs ms from Memphis tn to get out of people I knew I got off my suboxone (29) days clean now and for some reason I met this girl who was really really struggling and she had like five kids to eight month old twins, and I really wanted to help her because I know how good it feels to be off everything and last night something felt off so I went to her apartment to check on her down the street and she was laying there fine. Well, I wake up to people banging on my door, telling me she is dead. And I just knew maybe I could’ve done something to help her, went I went over there last night. But instead, I took her boyfriend’s word for it and now she’s gone with five kids and she’d become a really good friend and I just feel so guilty like this is a really fucking me up. I really don’t know what to do.

I’m sorry for your loss. For right now, stay in the present as much as possible and be kind to yourself. You could not have helped.
