My Tribute: My beautiful daughter Jennifer struggled with drug addiction for several years, the last 3 years of her life with heroin. My mother passed away at the end of October and Jennifer had a very hard time dealing with this loss – she had not spoken to her grandmother in 3 years. There was regret that she had not told her how sorry she was for what she had taken from her. Just 5 short days later, Jennifer died from a heroin overdose. I know she is at peace now and is safe – with her family – and that I will see her one day…….I miss her smile……I miss getting a phone call that starts with “Hi Mommy”…..I miss my daughter.

Excerpt: How I Stopped Blaming Myself for My Son’s Overdose DeathOctober 25, 2019 - 1:19 am
A son’s death and a mother’s love. This is the story of Josh Olt who overdosed on heroin and died at the age of 16. This is the story of the mother he left behind. It is not a story of “moving on,” or “getting over it.” For those of you who have lost someone you love to overdose, you know those things don’t happen. This is, instead, a story of disenfranchised grief, of self-blame, of what-ifs, of should-haves, and how to find a way to let go of that guilt.
