September 21 – Opiod Awareness Day

Today is Opioid Awareness Day 🕊️

The opioid crisis has deeply affected so many families, including my own. I lost my daughter to the devastating impact of opioid use, and the grief that comes with such a loss is indescribable. Today, I want to take a moment to remember all those who have lost their lives to opioid addiction and to acknowledge the families and friends who are left behind to carry the weight of that grief.

On this day, it’s important to raise awareness, offer support, and work together to break the stigma surrounding addiction. For those who are still fighting, and for the families walking the hard path of grief, there is hope, and there are resources to help you along the way.

If you or someone you know is impacted by opioid addiction:

• National Helpline – SAMHSA
• Grief support for families

Let’s continue to raise our voices, share our stories, and stand together in support of those affected by the opioid crisis.

God Bless You~
