I(the mother) am working through this along with alot of unanswered questions. The person that gave it to him and encouraged him to take it is in jail facing manslaughter. I have turned that over to God. I don't judge not even in this traumatic event in my life. I am strong and I am trying to make sometime positive out of it to keep our spirits up. This happened sept. 28, 2007. He fell asleep across my middle son and wifes bed and never woke up. They found him when they were awaken by noticing him there. My 20 yo son drove to my house and woke me up at 6 am screaming and crying "He is dead! His face is blue! Mom -------- is dead! I was in a deep sleep and jumped up, my husband and I driving frantically to get there. I was praying and screaming all the way. We drove up and I ran to the door being stopped by the sheriff telling me He is gone, I couldn't go in and I fell to the ground screaming. All of this keep replaying in my head. I don't believe in telling my problems to psyc's HELP

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I too am just going through losing my brother, and sister. My younger brother got ammonia, and having contacted HIV around five yrs. earlier, his body just gave out. I miss him so much. I just found all of this out five wks ago. My sister suffered most of her life from pancreas damage, they were both in the hospital together, and died eight months ago, maybe longer. My living brother didn't have the decency to even contact me to tell me. I found out through face book. My kids found one of my nieces on the site. I'm sorry for going on so, but I too have to know that they're safe now. There's no more pain where they are. They all went straight up to God, and this does give me peace of mind. Now we have to live our lives even fuller, for them, showing them that we are strong, and show your son proud. Know that he will meet you in heaven, till then, you can only pray and do the best you can. You have to take care of yourself, and enjoy life to the fullest. That's what your son would want for you.

My sympathy is with you and your family. If it is any comfort your son no longer suffers. It is those left behind that suffer. I hope you can find the strength to find joy again. Look to those that are still here. It may be the way to minimize your pain by helping others to deal with theirs and knowing you do not suffer alone. A young life taken with out answers is devastating. You may never find those answers. You need to have time to mourn your loss. Time is the way to come to terms with your loss. I am so sorry and can not begin to understand what you must be going threw. My prayers to you and yours. Maybe a clergy member or a support group for others that have faced the same heartache may help. I wish you find peace and some form of closure for you and your Family. God Bless

I don't understand the question? But I do understand the sorrow. My son also died of a drug overdose. He was 39, he passed away peacefully on July 15, 2004. He was found outside in front of my house laying in the grass where he had laid down which he had done many times before. It still hurts when I think about it. And, yes you will relive that scene many times it will be less painful as time goes by. I thanked our dear lord that my son, like yours died in his sleep and not by the hands of a killer or the guns of war. My prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss it is so tragic. Please try and seek some type of counseling if for nothing else just to get your feelings out in the open. Just try it it can't hurt . Again, I am so sorry. Also, if you don't want to do traditional counseling what about support groups for others that have gone through similar situations. Good luck and best wishes for you.

How fully undesirable for you. i'm so very sorry on your loss, and that i'm relieved that a minimum of there is a few ingredient of justice in that the guy who provided and inspired him is dealing with prosecution. in this time, once you're in ask your self and left with the horror, the loss, the poor sadness of what has handed off, chatting inclusive of your buddies and kinfolk is possibly the final ingredient you're able to do. yet in the long-term, in case you are able to no longer come across a fashion by way of, please do re-evaluate your technique of psychotherapy. i do no longer understand what you mean by utilising asserting you do no longer 'have faith' in chatting with a consultant. it extremely is been deeply powerful for hundreds of hundreds of individuals and in case you desire such help i actually desire you will no longer refuse it.

Not sure what your asking, but the best support would go to N.A. meetings or dependence of them. Even AA an addiction is an addiction. Find a bereavement group for better support, I am sure they have help lines, to talk to people face to face, and other mothers who have gone through this same thing. Considering it happened a few months ago your still going through the grief of mourning.

I am so sorry to hear about your son.
I had a close friend overdose on heroin 8 months ago.
An absolute shock, but it really opened my eyes and heart towards accepting Christ.
God bless your soul, and may your son rest in peace.

I am sorry for you. God is with you. Every thing is for good only. Time is the only healer. Cheer up.
I lost my brother 11 years ago due to food poison made by excess alcoholic content in his body.

your still grieving. Let yourself grieve. It's a slow, long healing process for something like this. But it will get better one day, that I promise. And it's not weak to grieve, or to be upset, or to cry and hurt. It's normal and shows strength to be able to express it.
