  1. Thank you Marty T. As I said I will look at different things to help our family heal. I did get a few books which are helping and I talk with my sister-in-laws (the one who lost her son 6 years ago at age 19) and the other one who calls me frequently just to talk or listen, whatever I need. I don't know what I would do without them. Cyn calls the girls too. <3 We decided we are going to have a fire this Friday on his birthday like we would as if he were still physically here with us and talk about the funny and good times we had with him. I know there will be a lot of tears but if we're all together, I think it will be okay. This year of "firsts" sucks
  2. My sister-in-law went to see a medium/ psychic and had great success. I'm at the point where I would try anything to make me feel better. Has anyone ever tried this or wanted to try this?
  3. We lost our son on October 12, 2015 of a combination of asthma and drugs. It has been hard on our family as you can imagine. I tried a grief group and not sure it's the one for me. He had come to us in March to tell us about his problem with heroin. He wanted to apologise and get help to stop. His dad and I were behind him all the way. I took him to detox and things seemed good all summer. He seemed like his "old" self which after he had told us about the drug we realized he hadn't been acting right before. He had been mowing grass and landscaping for money while looking for a more permanent job. That weekend all the girls went to our cabin to celebrate my youngest daughters 21st. birthday. We came home Sunday afternoon, the guys were laughing and teasing us about how much we drank. After dinner, we sat around the fire for a bit then went in. Zach said good night and I love you. About 1:30 a.m. he woke us up saying he couldn't breathe. He had his inhaler but he still couldn't get enough air. While my husband called 911, I went into the bathroom to check on Zach and his pupils were fixed and he wasn't breathing. I picked him up (till this day I don't know I did it) and took him into the living room. My husband started CPR till the EMT's got there and took over. He was transported to the hospital where he later passed. Why he didn't come to us we'll never know. We would have helped him again with detox, maybe tried in-patient that time. I'm just devastated. My husband has had us stick with the asthma attack cause of death. I am torn because in my heart people need to know this can happen to anyone. We are not rich, but we are not poor either. Heroin doesn't care. The coroner I spoke with said it is the most addictive drug ever, even more than cocaine. I guess he's embarrassed but I just want to warn these young kids, don't even try it. People who want you to try it are not your friends. His birthday is coming up on April 8 and I am just beside myself...
