- 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.

My Fathers Loss
Many years ago, I lost my father after his battle with colon cancer that later spread to his bones. The grief stayed with me longer than I expected. Ambrosia Behavioral Health helped me work through that loss, understand my emotions, and find healthier ways to cope and move forward. https://www.ambrosiatc.comSee More

Traumatic loss of an only child
I started this group so that people who have lost their only child or the only child that remained, as in my case, could come together because I believe people that did have a child or children who now have none have special issues.
Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide
If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More

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,
Gale
My husband and I just don't talk anymore. Separate room. He works 7-3, then goes to another job until 8 pm. When he is here, he eats alone and so do I. Someone killed our son and our marriage of 25 years.
Right Adrianne it could have happen to them.
Yes, Adrianne it could have happen to them.
Why Adrianne did it happen to us. I sit here as I do everyday, with tears flowing down my face. They are silent tears now. I find it hard to respond too.
But Adrianne it happen to us and I wish I could fix it...........my tears are warm and full of pain, sorrow, fear, and shame. Like all my few friends child still here and mine child gone.
Adrianne, such nice pics.. my heart goes outto you. Pls take care..hugss
Your poor son and poor you...I FEEL like I am crying all the time, but after a month most days I feel like something is bottling it up inside me so its just an inside ache and the tears won't come...then suddenly they do and its like a downpour..then nothing again...I guess its really true that no two people can grieve the same way...yesterday I thought I was maybe getting closer to letting go of the pain just a bit...but...ha ha ha...that didn't last long...hugs to you
Adrianne everything you say is perfectly true, I believe it is true that even if a parent was aged 90 and they lost their 70 year old child it hurts no less.
Someone warned me that while my holidays were hard to handle his birthday would be the hardest to get through! I woke up that day literally feeling like I was going to die. My daughter needs me and for her I have to figure out how to live again. I'm just not there yet.
