First forgive if I repeat myself,  my son's been gone 3 months, I feel like I'm  In the twilight zone. Everything foggy. My son struggled with addiction for years. We tried everything, doctors, inpatient, out patient. Then we began thinking HE HAS TO WANT IT OR it won't work. Finally it seemed he wanted it, he was in jail for a vop  and found a spiritually based program, that you pd 169 per week. He got out of jail they picked him up, he got saved, drove Pastor s crazy with questions.  But there one girl he couldn't resist. So after a couple months  clean, she called him, said she was clean too. He went to see her ,she wasn't.  They used drugs Friday and Saturday night. He passed from an accidental  overdose on sunday. She stole his phone id and bank, but got nothing, he had changed pins and put a code lock on phone. I miss him constantly, dinner time is bad, usually he'd call " what's for dinner mama" ? Or if he didn't call I'd call him, and tell him what I was cooking. Hoping he'd come by.The world is not the same without him in it.i attend a support group and talk with a couple women who survived the same loss. It helps, just like groups like this, I'm tempted to call him. I have emailed him . They tell me the first year is the worst so august 15 I'll be half

I am so sorry for your loss. I just lost a friend to an accident overdose and I didn't even know he had a problem. I feel so guilty for not knowing, maybe I could of helped. I will pray for you. Remain strong.

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
