My Story

My daughter, Jenny, died 3 months ago from a drug overdose.  She had just turned 22 years old.  She had been battling mental health and addiction issues for 8 years. She was the fourth of my five children, of which two others are currently in recovery. In the past ten years, I have divorced an emotionally and psychically abusive alcoholic, restarted my life from the ground up and supported my kids through their journeys. My daughter's and my family's story is probably not unlike many. She was a beautiful person. So loving, smart, funny, loud and full of life.  i didn't see her everyday, but kept in touch with her and kept track of her and her well being.  When she died in April I hadn't seen her since September. I missed her.  I miss her now because i know i can't talk or text or facetime.  But I know where she is and I know she is safe and her struggles are behind her.  She has found peace and that was always my prayer for her.
