Our thoughts and prayers go with you today.

Thank you for your kind words. Your son knew he was loved, of that I am certain.

We are here for you always.

Hugs

Reading this makes me think of how often we blame ourselves in some way for how our addicted children came to be so lost....but for some reason we forget to take any credit for the so many positive sides of our children's personalities. I am glad you are able to take comfort in what your son meant to others, please don't forget that you certainly had a LOT of positive influences on your son that made him the well loved man he was to so many! Don't ever forget that! Hugs!!!!!!

Dear oceanlady...I am so very sorry for the loss of your son...and I want you to know that we (I) am here for you. The grief is different for everyone...and it almost like a spiral...so am just here if you need support. I know you are numb right now...and taking care of the details...but know that you are cared for and about...and virtual arms are around you in this moment.

That's the stuff you hold onto. You hold it close. Because it was real. Your son not only meant a lot to you. He meant a lot to others.

God bless him. And you as well.

This is heartbreaking. I am praying for you. I am recovering alcoholic and gaze into my little boys' eyes and pray and hope they escape addiction. I simply can't think of anything more painful that what you have endured. I am so very sorry.
