how deeply tragic for all concerned. my condolences to you and all who loved and cared for him. special hugs to your 8 yr old. :grouphug:

I'm so incredibly sorry. I'm sending you strenght and prayers. I lost my husband due to the same reason a year and a half ago. It's so horrible. I hope you have people around you to support you, talk to, do the groceries and everything else that feels too overwhelming in a situation like this. You and your daughter will be in my prayers. PM me if you need someone to talk to.

Sending you hugs

I am so very, very sorry for your loss, your daughter's loss, your family's loss. My heart is so full and I will keep you in my prayers. I wish you strength and peace. I hope that with time, all the damage that addiction inflicted will fade and you will be able to hold on to some of the happier memories without too much pain.

I'm so sorry Bodkin--I remember you from before and how
much you tried to help him and protect your child.

Wishing you all healing :grouphug:

So incredibly sorry for your loss Bodkin. I feel for you and your child - and for him. So sorry - will keep you in my prayers.

Thanks
 

Thank you all. I’m so grateful right now for his family, for my family, and for our friends. You know, the friends who show up and take your kid to the park so she doesn’t have to go to the funeral. The friends who bring you cookies. The friends who help you when your brain just stops and who help you sort through the stuff left behind. The friends who give you a ride home. Who ask if you need groceries or time to yourself. I’m very grateful for those folks. I’m blessed to have these people in my life.

B,
I am so sad for your loss. We all get it on this forum that our addicts are all only one drink, one pill or one needle away from dying. I'm so sorry for this unmeasurable loss to you an your daughter. Sending hugs, stay close my friend.

I'm so sorry for your loss Bodkin.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I hope your daughter will grow up remembering how much her daddy loved her, and how extremely hard he tried to recover to be the best dad for her that he could be.

It's apparent just from this this one post how hard he tried. He went to rehab, got a job, got an apartment, was on friendly terms with you, picked up your daughter at school, helped with homework, made meals. It sounds like he took excellent action steps. But, Addiction is a BEAST. Those lies in our minds can quickly overtake us and kill us.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I hope he sends you or your daughter a "sign" that he loves you, is at peace, and is there with you.

I'm so sorry! My prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad to hear you have so much support through this difficult time

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine the pain you and your family are going through. Addiction is such an awful disease and you really never know when it will rear it's ugly head again. My thoughts are with you.
