πŸ’™ Welcome to the Forever Our Angels Blog

 

Today, we begin something new. This blog will be a space where we share stories, resources, and information to bring awareness to the fentanyl crisis that is affecting families everywhere.

At Forever Our Angels, our mission is simple yet powerful:
✨ To honor the lives of those we have lost.
✨ To support the families and survivors who are left behind.
✨ To educate our communities so that no other family has to experience this pain.

The fentanyl crisis is one of the most urgent public health issues of our time. Many people don’t realize how dangerous it is—just 2 milligrams (about the size of a few grains of salt) can be deadly. Too often, fentanyl is hidden in pills or other drugs without people knowing, leading to sudden and tragic loss.

Through this blog, we’ll share:

  • πŸ’‘ Awareness facts about fentanyl and prevention.

  • πŸ’¬ Survivor stories that remind us we are not alone.

  • πŸ™ Tributes to our angels who inspire us to keep fighting.

  • 🌎 Resources and campaigns you can join to spread awareness.

This is more than just a blog—it’s a movement of love, remembrance, and action. Together, we can break the silence, educate others, and save lives.

πŸ’™ Thank you for being here. Thank you for standing with us.

With love and hope,
The Forever Our Angels Team

Introduction:
When it comes to fentanyl, misinformation can be deadly. Myths spread quickly, and too often they prevent people from recognizing danger signs or taking precautions. At Forever Our Angels, we believe knowledge is power. Today, we’re busting 5 common myths about fentanyl so you and your loved ones can stay safe.


🚫 Myth #1: Only addicts are at risk of fentanyl overdose.

βœ… Truth: Anyone can be at risk.
Fentanyl is being mixed into counterfeit pills, powders, and even substances like cocaine and meth without the user knowing. Many people who overdose never intended to take fentanyl at all—they thought they were using something else.


🚫 Myth #2: You can tell if a pill or drug contains fentanyl just by looking at it.

βœ… Truth: You cannot see, taste, or smell fentanyl.
Counterfeit pills look identical to prescription medications, but just one fake pill can contain a lethal amount. The only way to check is through fentanyl test strips.


🚫 Myth #3: Prescription pills are always safe if they come from a friend.

βœ… Truth: Unless a pill comes directly from a pharmacy with your name on it, you can’t trust it.
Counterfeit oxycodone, Xanax, and Adderall pills are some of the most common fentanyl-laced drugs. Sharing pills—even casually—can be deadly.


🚫 Myth #4: Fentanyl overdoses only happen to “heavy users.”

βœ… Truth: It only takes 2 milligrams of fentanyl (about the size of a few grains of salt) to cause an overdose.
Even one pill, one line, or one use can be fatal. That’s why it’s often referred to as the “one pill can kill” crisis.


🚫 Myth #5: There’s nothing you can do if someone overdoses on fentanyl.

βœ… Truth: Quick action saves lives.
Carrying naloxone (Narcan) can reverse an overdose if given in time. Calling 911 immediately and giving rescue breaths while waiting for help can also make the difference between life and death.


Closing Message:
Myths put lives at risk. Truth protects them. By understanding the real dangers of fentanyl, you can help spread awareness, protect loved ones, and save lives.

πŸ’œ Together, we honor the angels we’ve lost and fight for the ones still here.
