DGG. My little brother overdosed. He's dead. I'm on in flight wifi and losing my shit.

There's nothing in the world that will make you feel better about it. You can try to have a positive mindset but it won't ease the pain. You can try to handle it like a stoic but that won't make you forget.

That said, it does get better. It won't seem like it will but it does.

At first, I thought about it 20 times a day, then 10, then 3, then at one point I found myself going a full day without.

It took me 2 years to not be mentally immobilized by it and another 2 to not cry every time I thought about it.

Just don't kys or do anything stupid like act out and lose the relationships you have right now. It takes years to get over it and all you can do is wait.
