Angelic, thank you for your kind understanding comforting words. I know your pain and hope your son stays on the right path. I will pray for you and your son.
There is no greater loss than the loss of your child, especially from a drug OD. There seems to be a stigma and shame attached to an overdose death. It makes me feel isolated and that I must somehow defend my son. He was such a good, kind, understanding, talented man who loved his family. He died from the disease of addiction, which many people just don't quite understand.
I will never get over it.
Love,
Joey's mum
Katy
