Para hermanos y hermanas

Mi hermano sufrió una sobredosis. No sé qué hacer.

Quizás estás en un pasillo de hospital ahora mismo. Quizás recibiste la llamada y estás sentado en el auto, sin poder girar la llave. Quizás sobrevivió. Quizás todavía no lo sabes. Sea lo que sea esta hora, respira. Se te permite no estar bien.

A los hermanos se les olvida en la adicción. Los padres reciben las visitas y las cadenas de oración; a los hermanos y hermanas les dicen que sean fuertes por mamá. Tú creciste al lado de esto — los cumpleaños perdidos, las mentiras que cubriste, los buenos años que hicieron peores a los malos. Te has ganado el derecho de derrumbarte un minuto.

Si sobrevivió: esto no es el final, y no tiene que ser un ensayo para el final tampoco. Una sobredosis a veces es la puerta por la que finalmente la gente cruza. Si no sobrevivió — nada en esta página va a arreglar eso, pero no estás solo en esto, y hay un lugar abajo para sentarte con alguien esta noche.

Tres cosas que hacer en la próxima hora

  1. 1
    Consigue los hechos médicos
    Pregúntale al personal claramente: está estable, qué tomó, qué sigue. Escríbelo — no lo vas a recordar mañana. Si lo van a dar de alta, pregunta por naloxona (Narcan) para llevar a casa.
  2. 2
    No hagas promesas esta noche
    Ni a él ("nunca te voy a dejar"), ni a tus padres ("yo arreglo esto"), ni a ti mismo ("lo voy a cortar"). El shock hace votos que no puede cumplir. Decide las cosas de día.
  3. 3
    Deja que alguien te sostenga
    Envíale un mensaje a un amigo, un pastor, tu pareja: "Mi hermano sufrió una sobredosis. Estoy en el hospital. ¿Puedes solo quedarte al teléfono?" Has pasado años siendo el firme. Esta noche, deja que otro lo sea.

Una oración para ahora mismo

Dios, es mi hermano.

He estado enojado con él por años y en este momento daría cualquier cosa por escucharlo mentirme una vez más.

Si todavía está aquí — mantenlo aquí. Despiértalo, en todos los sentidos.

Si te lo has llevado — todavía no tengo palabras para eso. Solo no me dejes en este pasillo solo.

Amén.

"En todo tiempo ama el amigo, y es como un hermano en tiempo de angustia." — Proverbios 17:17
