My brother died from a heroin overdose
From Cassie –
I was directed to this website because I had lost my 16yr old brother in Feb due to 10mg of Morphine in his system. He had been an addict to Black Tar Heroine for 1/2 year or so but then had decided to quit on his own and found that that was not that easy. He then called my mother to ask for help, he received 2 weeks of detox and 60 days in rehab. I wasnt able to be with him the last year or so of his life (I lived in Ky and he lived in AZ with his father).
Regardless of the situation that took my brothers life, I still feel as though there is a mighty hope for those that have passed before us. I know and feel and think that my brother is in Heaven, also I believe that he is still here on earth in spirit. God is such a forgiving God that I know that although some may say that since my brother was “under the influence” he was sober when he entered those gates. He wasnt old enough to let God down. None of us will ever be. John 3:16-all who BELIEVE shall not perish but have everlasting life.
I say this to those of you who are wondering why? and what if? I am only 20 years old, Me and that kid had the BEST of bonds! He was and still is my best friend. Yes we had it rough growing up, but we all seem to think we do when we are young. No one can explain to me why this happened, why a sweet innocent boy turned to drugs. But there is a feeling of peace within me EVERYDAY that keeps me going! Now when this had happened I too was involving myself with drugs. I didnt want to believe in God although I had. Long story short, I found peace in my brother…I never prayed for it, I never even took the time to think about it considering our relationship, it was too hard.
Now it has been (goin on 8mths) since he has passed and to this day I cannot cry in pain or grief for my brother. I know you must be thinkin, is it bc you may feel weak if you cry or what not. But I know my brother..and I know that he would not want me to feel like he has left me here on this earth alone. The reason for my peace is him! Is GOD!! and I couldnt feel more blessed!
