In her post, she explained how Mike, her partner of 11 years, lost his life after a recent relapse. "I was there before it all started," she said. "I knew what he wanted out of this life, all his hopes and dreams. He never would've imagined his life would turn out this way. He was once so happy and full of life. He was a great son, brother, friend but most importantly, he was a great dad. He loved those kids more than anything." She went on: "But as we all know sometimes life gets tough and we make some wrong choices. His addiction started off with pain pills then inevitably heroin." Do you have a family member or friend that is addicted to drugs?

"My kids' father, the man I loved since I was a kid, a great person lost his battle," she said. "I just needed to share his story in case it can help anyone else." Since Eva posted the photo, it has been shared more than 250,000 times. Many viewers have commended her bravery in sharing the image. In a later post, she added that she had spoken to Mike's parents about posting the photo. They told her they weren't upset that she had shared it, but wanted to note that the coroner's report has not yet come back with his official cause of death.
