My Tribute: My dad lost his battle to addiction on October 19, 2012, to an accidental overdose of Methadone. He was 42 and left behind two daughters, myself who was 18 at the time, and my sister who was 15. My dad was the most kind-hearted, genuine person I know and had a smile that lit up a room. An avid fisherman, hunter, and all-around outdoorsman. Despite his struggles, he was always the best father, son, uncle, and friend. It will be 9 years this October and my heart is still broken. You are loved and missed beyond measure.

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.
