My sons, daughter

Since my son, Jeremy died from a drug overdose in 2009 on Thanksgiving Day, his daughter does not say his name and doesn't remark when I talk about him.  I don't know if she is afraid of upsetting me or herself but I want to share with her the good memories I have of her Daddy.  She is only twelve so perhaps the funeral was so traumatic that it makes her sad to talk about her daddy....I don't know what to do if anything.

Thank you so much for responding Vicki and Panni...sometimes I feel like I am walking this road all alone and no one has any answers.  Thank you for validatig how I feel about trying to talk to my granddaughter about her Daddy.  I know our sons never meant for them to loose their lives but drugs seem to overpower a person's mind.  I try to bring up happy memories and show my granddaughter pictures of her Daddy and what he was interested in and what a great person he was to me and everyone.  My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your families too.

Thank you again,

Charlotte

It was not supposed to be like this

In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
