My Tribute: I met Sean in 2006. We never had a picture perfect relationship, but I loved him very much. We were together for a long time. In June 2009, I had our daughter. Sean had always struggled with addiction, but I always saw through that. He suffered so much that he abandoned our daughter when she was only 5 years old. He never spoke to her again. In 2017, when she was 7 1/2, I received a call from his sister. He had overdosed and passed away. He lost his struggle with addiction.

I know he is at peace now.

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.
