My Tribute:Mike moved 2 1/2 hrs away to a 90 day pogram, then to a recovery house for the next 7 months. He visited us the weekend of 04/6/18 to celebrate his son’s 7th birthday. He looked so good, healthy. Working out. Had a good job. I will never know why he picked up that needle. He had some significant clean time, that’s what I’m focusing on. I miss him so much and still in shock.

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.
