I am so, so sorry for your loss. My daughter is the addict in my life and even though I realize that the addiction could take her life, I can't imagine what I would do if it really did.
My thoughts, hugs and prayers go out to you. Please know that we may not be with your physically, we are all with spiritually! You are part of this family and we all share in your grief.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and kind words. You'll never know how much they mean to me.
My husband and children and have all read them and cried right along with me.
My youngest son brought John's ashes home this morning. We plan on making a memorial for him here on our property.
I don't think I'll ever understand this and I know I'll never get over this. I'm trying very hard to think only of the happy times. I pray every day that God will heal his soul and bring him peace.
Thank You All.....Patricia

I too am not sure loosing a child can ever be understood. You're correct...it will always impact you, but in time, I hope that you will find peace. Thinking of good times is comforting...I found I had to take the sadness out for awhile, let myself feel, then put it away again. Too much was overwhelming.
May God bless John's soul and bring you and your family comfort. Hugs and prayers

My son accidently overdosed on May 15, 2006. he was 19 and one week shy of his 20th b-day. I still cry every day. I miss him so much. He was the oldest of my 4 kids. Now I have 3 daughters. One is 18 and oregnant and i have a set of identical twins that are seniors in high school this year. We have all grieved for Trey so much. it is I who cannot get past the fact that he is gone. There is so much help here and understanding. The advice is very much appreciated. I have talked more about Trey here on SR than anywhere else. Gently I am held in everyone's thoughts and i can feel their prayers lift me when i don't think that i will ever be able to get up again. My point is...keep posting and talk about your loss. You are not alone....Viki

I can't say anything to express how much my heart is breaking for you and your family. I am overwhelmed with sadness for you.
Just know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers daily.

I woke up this morning, thinking about you, your family, and your presious son. We all love you and hold you dear to our hearts. I wish there was something I could do or say to help carry your pain, to help ease it a little. I know there is not. Just know that I carry you and yours in my heart, and my prayers.
Hugs

Just reminding you that we are sending more prayers for you and your family this morning. My words would not be sufficient to take your pain away; just know that I care and am thinking of you today.
Hugs to you and your family.

We never get over the loss of a child, but we can survive it, a day at a time. I've found acceptance over time, but I had to ask the questions first, to try to get an understanding I now know I'll never completely have. May the good memories sustain you and your family ladyjane and I'll add your John to my nightly prayer for my son ... that they both are happy and free and at peace. I believe in my heart that they are.
love & prayers ~
