This morning I learned of a friend from my teenage / early adulthood life overdosed and died in his car this morning in Melbourne. I find it particularly sad that he died alone on a dark rainy night at the young age of 37.
He had been offered help and was not long out of rehab but for what ever reason he was not ready or able to make different lifestyle choices. He was also not afforded something that a lot of us take for granted and that was a strong family unit. This does not give reasons for his choices or an excuse but I know it helped guide his decisions.
I hope he finds peace.
