In the United States, more than 70,000 people died from drug overdoses in 2017. That's more than the number of people who died from car accidents or homicides.

Behind each of those statistics is a story of a life cut short, a family torn apart, and a community left to grieve. Life After You is a powerful and moving account of the devastating impact of drug addiction on families and communities.

Author Susan Smith tells the stories of families who have lost loved ones to drug addiction. She explores the complex emotions of grief, loss, and guilt that they face. She also examines the ways in which drug addiction affects communities, from the strain it puts on law enforcement and social services to the stigma it creates.

Life After You is a must-read for anyone who has been touched by addiction. It is a powerful reminder of the devastating consequences of drug abuse, and it offers hope and support to those who are struggling to recover.
