He will be greatly missed but he has no more pain or hurt because we know that he is resting in peace…. I love you dearly Carolyn
Thank you for speaking out about addiction. Although I have been blessed in my life, I have many friends with children with addiction problems. I can understand it and sympathize with you. May he finally be at peace.
I read of your loss. I lost my son a little over a year ago, similar circumstances.
When you are ready, I have found Hope forBereaved in Syracuse to be of great help.
We do have a twice monthly support group.
