About Me:
I'm a Mother who loves her family. I'm a Mother who made a mistake many years ago that hurt her children. I have worked hard and tried my best to be a good parent and wife. My husband who is not the biological Father was hurt at work badly 16 years ago, Two of my children have had addiction problems and I raised my granddaughter. I have 6 grandchildren. I was raised Catholic and I come from a large Italian family.
About my Loss:
I lost my son Don August 17th. He was 44 years old. He was my best friend. He had addiction issues all his life. When he was younger we were told his drinking wasn't normal. That he drank to medicate. We didn't find out until he was much older that he was a victim of a horrible crime. A crime he shouldn't have ever had to endure. Because I met the wrong man and did not know he was hurting my child. He spend his whole life trying to medicate. Late last year he took too many prescription drugs and he stopped breathing. He made it through that but then was diagnosed with a horrible bacterial pneumonia. He made it through several surgeries when he wasn't expected to live. Then he was released and sent to his primary Doctor for after care. He still had a viral pneumonia and was being treated for it. His Doctor gave him 60 pills of morphine 20 mg knowing he had a breathing issue! He took too many. We don't know the complete reason he died but we suspect that as well as maybe congestive heart failure due to the pneumonia.

    Adrianne I'm so sorry to hear about your loss - It's just horrible to lose a child; It's a club I NEVER intended to be part of.  I am new to this site and  find it helpful for getting out of my own misery and devastating.  If there's anything I can do please don't hesitate.  Praying for you and your family,

    I am Adrianne's daughter, Debbie. My mom passed away in July. I am in severe pain and I knew writing this would be so hard.
