death bereavement · text message · weeks · 60-100 words

Your close friend's older brother Danny died of a fentanyl overdose three weeks ago. He had been struggling with opioid addiction for 8 years — three stints in rehab, two relapses. Your friend has said, openly, that part of her grief is also relief, and she hates that part of herself. You're texting her — midweek afternoon, no occasion. 60-100 words. Just the text, no preamble.
