I loss my son to drug abuse, not an overdose, but the drugs killed him. I also wonder what he went through before he passed. I talked to his friends, looked through his phone activity, and nothing brought me peace. My husband, and three other children, also ask the same questions. Unfortunately in this life we will never know. I only started to believe we will one day be together and know all the answers. It's the only thing that makes me wake up every day and try to function. I'm so very sorry we are in the same boat. But lets hope to sail away into brighter days. Please know you are not alone.

Lynette,I am so very sorry for your loss. I too lost my beloved son, Rob, in August 2009. I prayed and prayed to dream of him and only twice I have. About two weeks ago I finally had a dream about him and I saw him at the age of his death (24 years), and he looked soooo wonderful, but at the end of my dream he was a little boy and i just told him how much I loved him. I hope this happens for you. It was probably the first time I felt some peace. It was a feeling I hoped to have. He is always in my thoughts and my heart. I wish this for you. If you are a reader, please read the book The Shack. A friend of mine gave it to me in August 09, I read it but was too emotional to accept the message. I re-read it this month and I had this dream of my son, it was all I was wishing for. Wishing you peace. Your friend in sorrow Sue

Dear Janet, I am so very sorry for your loss. I know exactly how you feel. I loss my beloved son Robert on 8/06/09. He was the oldest of four. We were so very close. He was my buddy. I miss him so terribly that sometimes I can't even breath. He was a handsome, 6 foot, 4 inch athlete. Twenty four years old. My husband went to wake him for work, and he had already passed. I wake every day believing this was just a nightmare. I wish I had some words of wisdom for you, or I could offer you some comfort, but I am not there yet. The only thing I could offer you is support and pray that you, I, and everyone else facing this unbearable loss will find the way to healing. As I understand it, it is a lifelong process. I will think and pray for you and your family and all the families in this group every day. May you find peace. Sue
