There's a always going to be alot of "What ifs"
Please don't ponder too much over those.
I lost a good friend from an overdose. That day still goes through my mind.... What if I had checked on her earlier that morning?.... What if I was around for her more often ?
Please don't beat yourself up on this.
As one person we try to help out..... We try to be there for them.... To be that friend to pull them out of the darkness.
We try.... But we're only one person..... they have to help themselves as well.
It's like tossing a rope down to someone who is stuck in a well. The have to grab on and hold tight.
My heart goes out to you and his family/friends.
You've got a future.... Make the best of it
