I just found out a very close friend ODed today. He is unconscious and on life support right now. This was not a suicide attempt but a friend dealing with substance abuse. They discovered he also has severe pneumonia. His Mother told a friend of mine that he might not make it. I wish I were able to be at the hospital by his side right now. I love him. He has always been an amazing and caring friend to me. An incredibly talented musician and one of the most original person I have ever known. I can't imagine him no longer in my life or in this world. I don't even want to think about the overwhelming pain that will overcome me if he dies. Lord help him come through this. Let this be the wake up call for him to get better and not the end of his life. Give me the strength to cope with this without completely falling apart. Please don't let him die. I am completely distraught right now. If I could afford a cab I'd be there right now. I am so scared.

SweetAdeline, you have my prayers that your friend will pull through, and for strength to deal with this situation. Sometimes, when a loved one is in a situation such as your friend, the waiting to see what will happen can be more traumatic than if that person were to die. I hope for the best, for your friend, for you, and the friend's family.
Thanks for this!

((SweetAdeline)) - so sorry to hear about your friend. Do you have someone who could drive you to the hospital? Wishing you strength and saying prayers for your friend and all who love him.

sweet adeline i agree with the other posts. i do hope whatever the outcome you can come to some acceptance of what is. if you can i'd go to the hospital and see if you can see him. his prognosis is tenuous but i do know people that pull thru. it may take a while to see if that's the case. my thoughts and prayers go out to you.and pray for God's will and help, just me, if you believe. i'm sorry he is so sick. if he recovers i hope he will realize he needs to change and live a healthy life.
