Dear Phil and Anothersadmom, Although I am not a parent who has lost their child to drug addiction I lost my bf of close to 6 years ( he was 39 yrs. old) to this disease/tradegy recently.... I share this grief and hope you find strentgh as time goes by.... I would like to know if you or anyone else reading this post has info. to other sites that are of support in this direct matter. I did find a couple though had difficulty getting registerd. Guesse I'm trying to share now in a different loss. I am seeing a counsellor though will seek specific grief counselling out in the spring as I am currently seeing a counsellor to deal with the immediate shock, etc... If anyone has any helpful info. please forward it. All I can say is that I know each life that has been lost to drugs has been worth more, the term addict is often used, though each addict is a person, and every person, parent, gf, sibbling, friend who has lost their loved one to Heroin addiction etc.... or any addiction will be changed forever..... Any info will be helpful..... Dora

Bless your heart, Dora. How are you doing? I'm glad you found this board and that Phil and Bob have been able to help you so much.

Hey, did I ever tell you what my precious little granddaughter's middle name is? Her name is Angelina Dora. My daughter is really into the meanings of names. Angelina means little angel and Dora means gift. You are a gift to us, as Angelina is to our family. Thank you for being you! God bless!

Love,
Susan
