August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day. On this day there are Vigils in most every NJ county to remember those we've lost. A night we can come together, connect with one another, remember and honor all those we love who have left us too soon. I have been to many vigils and the common item is the sadness AND the beauty of the night. If you've lost a loved one to an overdose or addiction related, try to bring yourself to a vigil. Healing starts with one another. Here's a few Vigils in the South Jersey Area. FYI: we will have a table at the Burlington Co. & Gloucester Co. Vigils. This year Colleen Howard from Parent To Parent has the honor of speaking at the Gloucester County Vigil.
