About Me
I am very stong and enduring, but losing my youngest son Christopher has left me empty. I will overcome and find the peace I know my son would want for me. I have two wonderful children still with me. My daughter, so fantastic, and my oldest son, a true warrior. Both have helped me more than they will ever realize.

I have a hard time coming up with the words to write in a journal but I have lots of inspirational poems and quotes. If I don't anything else to give perhaps some words I share will help someone else's pain. They don't cut mine but sometimes help. Thank you for your encouragement....hugs back, Mary

Support Groups
Close Bereavement
Type: Loss of a ChildMy beautiful son suffered from the disease of addiction. He had been diagnosed as bipolar, and required intervention for behavioral issues starting in first grade. He died alone injecting oxycontin Jan 31, 2009, he was 29 years old. He had lost 5 friends in 5 years to drug or alcohol related incidents. The disease consumed him, he fought it, mostly to spare me, but it took his life and part of mine. I miss and love him every moment of everyday.
Treatments
- Crying Working / Worked
- I have no control over my tears. My eyes have swollen and sting, but I am greiving my son, I feel like it is necessary for emotional health.
- Prayer Working / Worked
- I have had such powerful spiritual intervention, my beliefs are such comfort, and yes I feel the healing effects of all things God puts in my path.
- Reading Working / Worked
- Reading evokes much emotion, most of all it helps me with understanding the process by which one can accept their own pace for healing.
- Support from Friends & Family Working / Worked
- I am closest to my incredible daughter, she has had many losses as well, yet she is my most ardent supporter. I feel like I shouldn't rely on her, but I am so vulnerable right now, and she is something else. The friends I have made here at DS are helping me more than anything. A safe place to vent, without judgement, and with total empathy is truly a gift.
Close Caring For Aging Parents
I recently moved to Ohio to care for aging parents, both with mobility and mental issues. I recently lost my 29 year old son from a drug od. I am strong, but I find my tolerance for aging has diminished since I lost my child.
