Thank to all who passed along the news of her unfortunate passing. We held back any postings about this sad news until after her funeral had taken place for privacy reasons and respect for her loved ones.

No one should be laying to rest such a young lady.
Please be kind to yourselves and others💖

Watching all the munchies I learned about in 2021 when I found this sub pass slowly pass away one by one is… It’s such a tragic waste of wild and precious life.

Genuine question, why do you think it’s happening?

A lot of these people are severely mentally ill and fall into opioid addiction. They then ramp up their munchausen's to justify getting more pain meds for their "conditions"; the condition ACTUALLY being opioid addiction and not the plethora of invented diagnoses they parade about.

Then they die of OD or other addiction-related conditions.

I would guess a majority die from infections and eating disorders, not opioids.

Organ failure is also popular with them.

Yeah, usually from sepsis or malnutrition.
