My Tribute: My father at the age of 37 passed away from overdosing on heroin.. I’m his oldest and only daughter so I was near and dear to his heart, at 17 I find it incredibly unfair.. Yet my brother (the youngest&only boy) is 12 and got even less time. My dad was so kind and funny, by far the most amazing guy I have ever known but the drug pulled him in so far that now there’s no turning back, my family wants to educate people on how important it is to take drug use extremely seriously and become educated!! Rest easy daddy.. With all the love in the world, your daughter -Shelby

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.
