RIP my son Sam

[Lelee]

Hi John, nice to meet you and I'm sorry to hear about your loss. It's really hard to be a bystander when someone you love destroys themselves. I wish more people had understood your sister's pain and not made judgements on her. Similar with Sam though in a way. Sympathy dies when people hear heroin is involved and family and friends drop away because of limited minds.
Sam's downfall was triggered by a bad acid trip he took when he was 18. He'd also mixed amphetamines with it. He said he was never the same after that, it left him with chronic, severe anxiety. Then things got a lot worse over the years.
I think they've found the peace of mind they were looking for and more now, but it doesn't stop the missing them and continual living with loss.
Take care
Linda

Dear Linda,
I haven't been on here for a while and I have just read your sad news.  I can only offer my sincerest sympathy and my thoughts are with you. You have always offered me good advice when I have needed it and you mentioned your son and his struggles so I feel for you as a mother.
I too firmly believe in the after life, I lost my parents 20 plus years  ago but still see and feel their presence.
Sam has merely moved to a happier, peaceful place but he will always be with you.
Will be thinking of you.
Maggie

Thanks Maggie. It's every parent's worst nightmare come true. I fought for 9 years to stop this happening but it's happened.  Sam was and still is a beautiful soul and I have no doubt in my mind that he's safe now and in a much better place. I just wish he'd recovered and was still with me physically.
Still waiting for the inquest though!
Glad your daughter's doing well.
Take care
Linda

I am so sorry to hear your news. Although I use the forum I dont often look at carer's corner so i'm sorry i hadn't responded earlier.

You are in my thoughts. Take care,

Deb

Thanks Deb, it was six months ago on the 5th April but it still seems like yesterday and yet forever.

Still waiting for the inquest.

Spend time with those you love.

Linda
