So sorry for you and your friend and her family's sorrow.


This is something that hits us so close to home, it's the fear we all live with everyday.


I pray for recovery for all our addicts....

You have found the right words to say, mjpaao...
Because I heard your heart.
And I thank you and all of you for your loving support.

Yes, it does hit us. And as often as it happens, it continues to hit us and hurt us. And, I guess I'm thankfull for that feeling too. Cuz, if I didn't feel it, I would be callus; less than human. When a young person dies, it's a tragedy, no matter why they die.

We *are* truely blessed...

Shalom!

My heart breaks for your friend and her family.
Tomorrow it will be a month since my son died from a heroin overdose. I know how much pain your friend is in. A month later for me and the pain is still there. I will pray for your friend and her family. Historyteach, this may sound awful, but I am glad for you that your son is in jail, even for a few days. I wish my son were in jail. at least he would still be alive. Your son is at least safe, thank goodness. i will pray for you and your family as well. Please take care of yourself.

Prayers for all who loved him, how very sad they must be.

And more for you and Trevor, you both are in my prayers each day.

My prayers for the young life lost and the grieving family

it is the nightmare we all fear...

too often we hear about a fatal overdose following periods of relapse

Teach,
your son also remains in my prayers
I am happy that for tonight you can rest knowing he is safe

I wish there was something more to say
the horror of this disease overwhelms me...

Teach, I am so sorry for the loss of Christine's son. There is so much grief in the lives of the ones who love addicts, yet somehow that grief endured in life seems minute to the finality of the grief that washes over us when the addict dies. Nothing can really describe what it feels like to experience that level of grief; heartfelt sympathy to you and Christine, Josh's fiance and son, and Trevor.

Teach-- may this be the last sad event for Christine and for you. I'm a heroin addict, and reading something like this hits too close to home. I hope everybody involved can keep going, despite the pain. Take care.

Just saw your thread and my heart is heavy for you, this young man,
and his family. Such heartbreak for them. It's so sad.
Sending up my prayers and heartfelt condolences for them.
I'm truly sorry for their loss.





So Sorry to hear about Trevor, too. I hope this is a wake up call for him
and he gets back on a good path. I hope that he's able to get his meds while
in jail. If not, maybe doing without them will be his real wake up call.
Lots of love, hugs, and prayers coming your way from me. Stay strong.

As mothers of addicts when we hear a mother has lost a child
we think, " There But for the Grace of God Go I "
I can only hope...may this fate not be mine.
Addiction is cruel.
