Welcome to the Logan’s Voice blog — a space built from love, loss, and purpose. Each post here is a reflection of truth and a call for compassion. When my son Logan died from fentanyl poisoning, my life was forever changed. I couldn’t save him, but I could speak his name and share his story so others might not have to live the same nightmare. This blog is my way of turning grief into purpose, raising awareness, honoring the lives we’ve lost, and celebrating every single person who finds the courage to recover.
Here, you’ll find honest writing about the realities of addiction, the dangers of the poisoned drug supply, and the ongoing fight to end stigma. You’ll also read about hope — the people who rise again after loss, the families who find healing, and the advocates who use their pain to protect others. Every post is meant to remind you that you are not alone and that healing, though hard, is possible.
This growing hub is updated regularly with articles, guides, and life-saving tools that can help you protect your loved ones, navigate recovery, and understand the changing drug landscape. You’ll find practical information, fresh insights, and resources for grief support, prevention, and healing.
Our goal is to equip families and communities with knowledge, courage, and connection — because awareness saves lives, and compassion breaks stigma. Check back often, as new materials are always being added to support you, your family, and your community.
And for real conversations that bring these stories to life, subscribe to the Logan’s Voice YouTube channel. Each episode of Logan’s Voice – a podcast dives deeper into the topics we discuss here, blending truth, hope, and the voices of those fighting to make a difference.
Whether you come here to learn, to heal, or to honor someone you love, know that you are part of a growing movement built on empathy, awareness, and action. Together, we can change the conversation — and save lives.
