Please help me...pain is unvearable at times

My husband got addicted to crack and took his life going on 4 years this July. We have two children together...ages 10 and 6. I long for the family I thought we would have. We were married for 16 years. I loved him very much. He started using back in 2002(he hid it from me).....I didn't find out until 2005. He was never mean to me or his children. I watched the man I love turn into someone I didn't even know. I need some support. I feel so alone and fight depression a lot. I can't seem to move forward. There are days I am OK and actually happy BUT I always get down again. I am 41.

Hey Melinda

I'm so sorry girl for your loss,  I have lost a few friends to drugs, and it sucks that a drug can take over a life.. Girl you got those babies that need you. I know how ur feeling, I lost my husband in Jan. 2011.  I think a good way to help you get thru this is those beautiful kids you had together, and know that he is part of them.. your kids need you, and I bet they remind u of him, but u made a family, and now thaey can help you try to move forward.  I don't know about moving on, but forward has to be better than nothing... Keep ur head up, and try to be strong for ur kids and you, its a life long proccess for some people. Your not alone.... Charlene

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
