I have lost a number of loved ones...some of them suddenly. I felt the same way you describe every single time. As unpleasant as it is, you will work a lot of that out during the funeral services.

How many kids did your Godbrother have? Are you going to raise them now?

My uncle was murdered in 2011 and the service made it worse honestly. I felt like I was starting to accept it until we actually laid him to rest. I hope this is different.

Idk if you’re taking a stab at humor but no, he didn’t have kids. Our parents pledged to raise each other’s children should something ever happen to the other set of parents, so his dad is my Godfather, his mom is my Godmother. Google godbrother. It isn’t some made up term. I’m surprised a forum with so many people from predominantly Catholic South La has people this confused about the term.

apparently went to his dealers/friends house. Did some heroin in the bathroom and overdosed. The guy saw he had OD’ed, sent a text to his friend to come pick him up, and left for work. Just left him there.

You have a weird definition of “friend.” His “friend” sold or provided your Godbrother drugs, knew he was overdosed and left him? You referred to him as a friend twice. He likely committed a crime that lead to a death and knowingly sold to someone with a problem. I know some dealers. There are certain people, essentially strangers, they won’t even sell to because they know the people are sick.

Nah man I get it. Like I said I have Godparents Godchildren and my kids have Godparents. I know how it works.
I’ve just never associated with having a Godbrother or Godsister. Neither have my kids.
What if you have a Godsister and you aren’t blood related. Is she off limits? Would that be like incest?

It's much worse when you have to sit down with a funeral director and plan someone's funeral like a parent or child. It makes the funeral service itself seem like nothing.

Trust me, I don’t think of the dude as his friend. They knew each other for years. I didn’t just post ‘dealer’ because he stayed at the dudes house and did drugs in his bathroom. I don’t know many dealers that are cool with customers crashing for the night. They knew each other well. That’s what makes this suck even worse. He knew him, yet he just let him die.

I’m so sorry and praying for strength for your family. I can’t imagine your pain.

Thanks man. My mom’s been a wreck since it happened. We have pictures of us as kids all over the house, memories tied everywhere in the house. He was such a goofball. It was impossible to be in a bad mood around him. I miss him so goddamn much already. I’m going to his little brothers house tomorrow and I already know it’s gonna hit me so much harder when I get there. I can still clearly see him sitting on my couch. He was a tremendous person. In just a few hours they’ve raised all that was needed to help us get him from Tennessee to La, do a memorial service and cremate him. This is gonna be the hardest memorial service I’ve ever been to. He had SO many friends in both states. Everybody loved him.

I can’t imagine. Knowing I’m gonna have to do that with my parents scares the hell out of me.

I used to be a really bad alcoholic... used to feel bad for myself and drink to feel better or just to forget in general. So I know how that mindset goes.
Know what got me out of it? Looking back at what my parents had to deal with and do growing up... then looking at what their parents had to deal with and overcome... and then so on and so forth...
Then I realized I've got it fricking made. I'm good Will Hunting sitting on a winning lottery ticket and too big of a pussy to cash it in.
It's at that point I really understood relativity and changed my outlook and life.

Sorry for your loss. I lost a friend to the very same thing only a few months back. I appreciate the sincerity and kindness in which you speak of the disease. It is a miserable way to live, if you are lucky enough to.

I'm sorry for your loss and unfortunately, this is a subject I know about. It's heartbreaking for everyone involved.
Posted on 11/6/20 at 5:46 am to ColdTurkey
sorry brother. prayers your way.
my mom was a pill junkie her whole life......78 y/o and is still one. I've only met my real/sober mom one time in a treatment facility 11 years ago.
addiction is insidious.
