  1. Lori, Counseling services are provided at my school, however I don't think I'm ready to take that step. My sister and I are very close even though we are miles apart. We talk on the phone for hours about the situation and it seems to help. I seem to be feeling a little better. Thank you for your support. - Jessie
  2. I'm 20 years old and I lost my dad 2 weeks ago due to a drug overdose. Both of my parents have been drug addicts my entire life. I tried through the years to get them to quit but it progressively got worse when I moved out to attend college. At first I was completely numb. My mom was on drugs so it was up to me to make all the arrangements. It was very scary to be put in this position with my first loss of a loved one. Through the whole process I never shed a tear. However, last night I started crying uncontrollably when I thought of never seeing dad again. I had so many emotions all at once. I was angry at him, felt guilty because I couldn't save him, and sad all over again. I am a very cold hearted person and so is the rest of my family. Why am I crying? I'm afraid to let my family see me cry as well. My grandmother's father passed away when she was 9 years old. When I told her dad died she told me to suck it up and hush about it. She tells me everyday, "When it's your time to go, it's your time to go." A few months before dad's death, I found my mom's best friend dead on our living room floor. She died of a drug overdose. I don't understand why my parents continued to use drugs after seeing what harm they do with their own eyes. Now that dad is dead I'm afraid of finding my mother's body laying on the living room floor, just like her friend. And, I feel very alone in my situation because my sister attends law school in a different state. She was not here to experience what I went through the day our father passed away. Does anyone have any advice? - Jessie
