My Tribute: Terry had a hard life, but despite it all, he kept such a happy and fun-loving spirit. His only weakness was addiction. He hated it and tried numerous times to beat it, but it finally took him away March 9th. I was “only” the ex-wife, but I spent years loving him and fighting with/for him, and losing him for good this time has been a devastating blow. We had two sweet boys together who will never have a relationship with him. I’ll never see his infectious smile or hear his voice again. I harbor a heavy burden of guilt for not being there to save him in those last moments, as I had before. I might’ve saved my children, but I couldn’t rescue him. I hope his soul finally found rest and freedom.

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.
