Memorial wall
A place to remember friends and family we have lost. You can leave a few words for someone, with a candle, a flower or a photo if you like. Every tribute is read by a moderator before it appears here, the same way the International Overdose Awareness Day tribute wall works, and not every tribute is published.
If you are grieving or struggling
Sharing a memory can bring up painful feelings. Take your time, and come back whenever you need to.
If you are thinking about suicide: in the US you can call or text 988 (988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Elsewhere, Find A Helpline lists free crisis lines by country. If you or someone near you may be overdosing or is in danger, call your local emergency number now.

Before you share
- First name or nickname only. Please don’t post surnames, addresses, workplaces or anything else that could identify them, their family or you.
- One photo, if you like. Only share a photo you took or have the right to share. No drugs or drug gear, no ID cards, documents, addresses or number plates, nothing graphic, and no one else’s face unless they (or their family) are OK with it. Its location and camera details are removed before it’s sent, and a moderator can remove just the photo.
- Keep it about them. No talk of where drugs came from, who sold them, or how to get them, and no blaming or shaming anyone. The forum rules on sourcing apply here too.
- Be gentle. Many people reading here have lost someone too. Tributes that are unkind to the person or to other readers aren’t published.
- Your username isn’t shown. Only moderators can see who shared a tribute. You can delete yours at any time, and deleting your account removes all of them.
- Anyone logged in can report a tribute. To ask about a decision, email [email protected].
