Couldn't have done it without you all...tough love stinks!

I have been gone for a long while! For those of you that kept up with me and checked in, thank you! We lost our son two months ago, and I am just now getting up the guts to tell you all, with my husbands nudging. The past two months have been the hardest EVER. I really thought dealing with our AS was tough but the grieving process is much much worse. I just wanted to thank everyone for giving me advice when needed. I really wish the tough love would have worked out but it didn't in our case. The one thing that keeps me going is knowing that my son is no longer struggling with his addictions, deamons, mental illness AND I am no longer worrying on a daily basis about him. For now, I am going to move on to the grief forum.

Jalpenolover,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

My heart truly goes out to you.

I nearly lost someone I love beyond words two months ago to this disease, and the entire experience was devastatingly difficult.

I cannot even imagine what it would be like to be where you are in this right now, but I will put you and your family in my prayers.

I hope you get all the help and support you need in this difficult time.

Much love,

SIU
