Sad day...

I was at church today and my friend, who started the Walking for Wellness group, after the loss of her daughter to a Heroin OD, 1/3/13, was running late.  She started to sit next to me and I could tell something was not right…  :(  She told me that another friend of ours, Rocehlle and Mom who I was just talking to Tuesday night about her son who had been clean for 3 months now, he lost his fight.  He too passed from a Heroin OD last night.  Gee and I held hands, tried to listen to the service, kept tearing up as we both know what it is to lose a child.  We still ask WHY?  What else can be done?  The only think I know to do, is reach out to our friend, be there as she starts her journey, learning to live without her son.
 
I will also tell her about my wonderful FMO group and when she needs to she can join us...
 
I know you all know what I'm talking about.  SO SAD…  She had such hope when we walked and talked Tuesday, but I also had to be honest when she asked me about my son. I had to tell her he passed 24 hours after getting out of rehab, but said I would pray for her son Chris.
 
Again my heart is breaking…  So senseless, I don't' understand addiction, I only lived it with my own son from when he was 17, til he passed at the age of 33.  
 
So please as you read this just say a little pray for my friend Rocehlle… Sending you all HUGS!  I hope you had a Blessed Easter weekend.  Even though I am sad, I continue to grow STRONGER in my faith and learning my new normal without my Gregor.  But God love this boy of mine, I had several signs from him all day today.
 
Love you Gregor,
