[QUOTE="Nandina, post: 766424, member: 23742"] Thank you Beta. I have come to the conclusion that grief is grief, the only difference being some of you are grieving children who are still living. My counselor used to tell me when my son was alive that I was grieving him. The tears, the sadness, the pain—we all endure it. I pray that your son will make contact with you at some point and ease your aching heart. If only they knew how much they hurt us, if only they cared. That is the scourge of drugs. There is not one thing or one person more important to an addict, not even their own life. I hope that a kind police officer or social service person will look out for your son. And I believe they probably are. The fact that he is not in a cold climate is a good thing if there is a good thing to be found in his situation. I always worried more about my son when the cold weather set in. Especially when he chose to live on the street rather than seek shelter somewhere. Continued prayers, Beta. And many thoughts of peace and comfort to you as well. [/QUOTE]
