Let's Be Honest Here
by Meghan Mayo and Megan Johnson
We're Meghan and Megan, lifelong friends who lost our brothers to overdoses. You might think their loss set us on a unique journey of grief, but in the community where we grew up, this is all too common. We want to have open and hopefully healing conversations about the opioid crisis in West Virginia with other families going through this. We believe that the only way to combat the stigma families like ours still feel is to be honest about our journeys.
