[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 758231, member: 15032"] Lovemyson: I was just thinking about you the other day. My close friend lost her son to a heroin overdose in July of 2019. It was just a year ago. She actually buried him on her birthday which just passed. I am not sure I would have picked that day if it were me. She said she was glad to get the first year behind her of living without him. She too is heartbroken. Her son was sober for almost a year and working and due for a raise. He had moved home again and she drove him to and from work while he was saving for a car. He was 27. They became very close in those months. He went to a party one night. She asked him to stay home and watch a movie with her and the last thing he said was "I'll be okay mom". She had a bad feeling. Personally, I think addiction is the most evil thing in the world. I dealt with it with my mother who was an alcoholic and my son who by the grace of God is now doing well. I feel that all things are God's will and we have to make peace with things that we do not understand or it will destroy us. These are things that we have no control over and they are impossible to understand. Have you gone to any type of grief therapy? My friend did for almost a year and she said it did help her but I don't know if the pain every truly goes away. She is trying to be happy for him because she knows that is what he would want for her. We are all here for such a short time. 💝💗 [/QUOTE]
