- Camp helps kids after parents’ death
- Drug overdoses leave trail of pain, recovery for many
- WINGDALE, NY Under the cover of darkness, Daisy Talbot and Allie Haufler are sharing secrets. ● They squeeze like sardines with the other girls onto two beds and clamor for space on the floor, fingers sticky with sugar and lime juice from Sour Patch Kids and Takis chips. They talk about Sabrina Carpenter’s new album and “The Summer I Turned Pretty” (the consensus is Team Conrad), and argue about the right pronunciation of the word “caramel.” ● They joke with the kind of dark humor only they can understand about being in the “dead parent club.” They talk about how loss has shaped their lives in quiet, relentless ways. ● They come from different states, are in different grades and carry different stories. But here, at Comfort Zone Camp’s Overdose Loss Camp, they’re just the girls of cabin 13, bonded by a kind of pain no child should ever have to endure.
- “The judgment left the minute they closed the car door to being dropped off, and they just opened their arms for each other,” says Trish Fell, far right, who is a big buddy in Daisy Talbot and Allie Haufler’s healing circle.

Drug overdose leaves a trail of pain and recovery.
Wingdale, New York — As night falls, Daisy Talbot and Allie Haupler share a secret. ● The girls sit huddled on two beds and the floor, their fingers sticky with caramel from Sour Patch Kids and Takis chips. ● They talk about Sabrina Carpenter's new album and the show “That Summer I Turned Pretty” (mostly "Team Conrad") and debate the pronunciation of “caramel.” ● They call themselves the “Dead Parents Club,” a dark joke only they understand, sharing stories of how loss has quietly and constantly reshaped their lives. ● Though they come from different states, are in different grades, and have different stories, at this grief camp, they are simply the girls of Cabin 13.
