My Tribute: We miss our firstborn son who overdosed 8-23-19. He was a roofer and construction worker, landscaper and artist. He loved the freedom of the outdoors and he loved the woods. He left behind his younger brother, Kenny; Jessica, Kenny’s wife; and their 3 kids Lexi, Mia and Joshua; and me, his Mom and his Dad.

Excerpt: How I Stopped Blaming Myself for My Son’s Overdose DeathOctober 25, 2019 - 1:19 am

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.
