My Tribute: Drew was my boyfriend and the love of my life. It has been two months since he died on March 6, 2015 at the age of 24. He was the kindest and selfless person I have met in a very very long time. He was incredibly intelligent, in school to be a civil engineer. We were planning a life together, getting married and having children in the future. His demons were too strong for him and he sank deeper and deeper into the hole of addiction. I have grateful to have known and to love and to have been loved by this man. I am happy his soul can finally be at peace and he doesn’t have to fight the hard fight anymore.

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.
