View Full Version : The Hardest News A Parent Can Get
I know I don't post here very much anymore but some of you may remember that my daughter was dual-diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and has had problems with drug abuse in the past.
Yesterday I found out she died from an overdose in her apartment back in Michigan. I always knew it was going to end this way but you still can never be prepared when it actually happens.
That is all I can say right now, I am so exhausted and drained right now, trying to understand that it is really happening. I am flying back to Michigan early tomorrow morning.
She would have been 26 on June 26th.
My heart is breaking for you, and I am going to hug my children tight when i see them next.
I know how much you loved and supportec her.
When you are settled please tell me if there is a place you would like a donation made to,

Find a person or group who will support you and offer compassion in your grief. In order to maintain your own physical and mental health, perhaps see a doctor and have them monitor you. My sincere sympathy. May you find strength you didn’t know you had and may you receive peace.
I'm so sorry for your loss and pain. Please take care and surround yourself with those you love.

Sincere condolences. I cannot even imagine how hard it must be.
I'm a longtime lurker on this forum, but I wanted to express my condolences to you as someone who has lost their adult child. He had a heart attack and died in front of me, and what got me thru those dark, empty times was to tell myself that I could go on - even if it was just for five minutes. Then another five. And another. I was pretty much on autopilot for several weeks. Numb doesn't even begin to describe how you feel. Lean on your family and friends, and don't be afraid to talk about your child - the happier times, the heartbreaking times, any time - with those around you. You may not feel any hope right now, but trust me there are better days ahead. Many blessings to you and your family.
