Losing Someone to Drug Overdose
If you've lost someone you loved due to them overdosing on drugs, let's talk about it here.
My son died of a drug overdose.
I had no idea he used. He was 28 and had just gotten his PhD. It took 5 months to get the toxicology report and learn just exactly what he had done. The condition of his heart revealed that he had had a problem for years. I believe God reached down and rescued him from a lifestyle that he couldn't handle, and I'm grateful to Him for that. But I hurt and I think about him way too much. I want this grief to go away.

My son died at 23 due to drug mis use. I haven't gotten his toxicology report yet. I didn't know he was using again. He was out of rehab 2 years, working hard, getting his life in order. He was healthy and beautiful.
I don't think the grief will go away. It just changes us forever.

My son died on Sept. 6 2014 to an accidental heroin overdose. I am so heartbroken and still cry everyday. In fact, I feel like I go through the days fighting back tears all day. I can't wait to get off work so I can let it out. I feel so guilty about not being able to save him.
This morning I was praying and visualizing him with Mother Mary. When I went to get out of the car, there was a coin on my seat from Israel. I sent him there to try to get clean in 2012...I am sure it was a sign!
