Totally on point. We all can could have done a lot of things different - and honestly, bad #### would still happen and we would only be left wondering what we could have done differently.Don't even go there. Everyone feels that way every time this sort of thing happens. It is enough that you were his friend.This is legit. Not fishing. There's a little more to the story than I out here but not much. I feel like I could have done more for him. Made a call to my closest friend because I was worried about him..Decided to sleep on it until at least this morning. Then wake up to him dead. Very surreal experience just looking at him covered up, his limp arm, the water bottle and juice at the table. Poor guy...I hope it happened while he was asleep.
I'm so sorry for your loss. (And I miss my friend Doug, who died in February.)
It sounds like you two were pretty close. Like you did what you felt you could, as a friend, to get him in the right direction. In the end, it was his choices and his body and his bad luck all coming together. And honest, you've made plenty of those same choices, many probably along with him, because thats what ####### friends do. You live together, you enjoy your time together, you try to help each other, but you let each other live their life. Sounds like you two shared a lot of those good times, that's friendship.
