    • About Me

      ~ Guess I can start off by saying that I joined this group for support, and also to talk to people who are also going through the same pain as I am. My mom died last July in my arms. She was a drug addict, and she died of it. I grew up with drugs around me, and my fear became true. That I knew in true of hearts, I would lose her of her abuse. I'm struggling, as anyone would be. The grief I hold is alot. I didn't no where to turn, till I saw this web page. I hope it works out for the best.

      Hi there, I'm checking in to see how things are going. July is a tough month isn't it? My brothers birthday is in July. Brings up all the memories of happy times but still can make me sad. Please know I'm here for you if you need to vent. It helps sometimes to do that. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care and try and have a relaxing fun filled weekend.

      Sorry to hear about your loss. I think that you've found a great place to talk and vent and get support from others who are going through similiar situations. There are a lot of very caring wonderful people here. I lost my brother to alcohol and drugs and my other brother to cocaine. It's tough but we're here for you when you need a shoulder to cry on or when you're so angry you don't know what to do. You're reaching out and that's a great thing! I'm a musician too and playing helps don't you think? A lot of my emotions go through my piano and my family can tell what kind of mood I'm in just by what I'm playing. Take care and have an awesome weekend!

      I'm not sure if this is the right group. But my mom was a addict herself. For 20 of my years, she was a major addict. Just last July, she died in my arms of a overdose. I found her, and I held her till help came. But it was too late. I grew up with this all my life, my mom doing drugs. I knew deep in my heart, she was going to die of this. But I never thought so soon, my fear came true. Right now I'm struggling with grief, and I saw this, and I thought I would give it a try. Thanks, RisaRaye01.
