My Tribute:

My only son was taken from me 2014. Life has not been the same since his passing. Richard was a beautiful soul. His kindness to everyone was apparent to all that knew him. A gentle soul with a big heart. He would had made a great husband and father if given the chance. Richard tried so hard and so many times to fight his demons but lost. What gets me through the day is that he is finally at peace with God in heaven. There will always be a hole in my heart and tears daily for my son. I miss him dearly.

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.
