Untimely: Personal stories of loss due to substance abuse
$21.83
The number of deaths due to substance abuse and addiction is difficult to calculate - the actual causes are varied, often hushed - and numbers are skewed though rising starkly. More immeasurable is the impact of these deaths on a community. Parents, friends, partners in business and life, coworkers, sons and daughters, and acquaintances of these casualties live with the grief. Their despair in turn affects everyone they contact. No community member is left unaffected by abuse of both legal and illicit drugs. The personal stories in Untimely relate experiences of people who have lost a loved one from substance abuse. These stories extend the legacies of the deceased and help survivors to deepen compassion for the afflicted and their untimely deaths. The wisdom that surfaces in these testimonials adds to the global discussion of substance abuse.
