Memorializing Addicts
Abstract
This digital article, crafted for WRTC 338: Genre Theory, explores several online memorials dedicated to individuals who have passed away due to drug overdose. By compassionately relaying the heartbreak of those left behind, and by sharing in a celebration of lives so tragically cut short, Gardner seeks to end the stigma associated with drug addiction and to return dignity to the individuals and families touched by addiction.
