Christopher's Mom,
I am sorry for your loss. We wrote back and forth on some posts, and you helped me tremendously. Please stay strong. You can do this. I do not have any children, so I do not know what you are feeling right now... Despite his addiction, I am sure Christopher was a wonderful, and loving person. If you ever need to talk, I will be here... RIP Chris. Stay strong Mom. <3

Christophers Mom, Tears flow from my eyes for You, Christopher and your entire Family as I just read your post. I likewise read SO many of your posts of strength and hope and how graciously you shared that with all of us. My son is 26 and a 10 yr battle with all of the same as you describe. This is the first and longest time I have not heard from him, all I know is he is on the streets of Phoenix.
I send you my deepest sympathy to you as a Mom,and your Family who has lost a beautiful part of you, your Son Christopher. I will be Praying for you, for all of us. My wish is for you to eventually heal to never forget Chris but to always remember his perfect hugs and his good heart.
God Bless you, God Bless Christopher, and here's a hug from one Mom to another.

ChristophersMom, I am so very sorry! Oh how my heart aches for you and your family. Will be praying for you.
I am so sorry for your pain and suffering. I am sure Chris is in a better place now and will be looking down upon your family. As a mother of a drug addict this is all of our worst fear no matter how many failed attempts to be clean. My heart breaks for you and your family. May you find strength in the loving memories of your son.
WOW! I am in tears right now. you've helped so many family members here. My heart is breaking for you. You are proof to other people that no matter how hard you try you cant save an addict who dont want to be saved. I love you!!!
My deepest condolences.
I hope that God heals your heart and shows you a direction to apply your knowledge to help families of addicts/alcoholics.
You and your family are in our prayers.

I'm so sorry for your loss. He will always be in my heart and prayer. We lost a good person to a very battling disease. Stay strong!
I just joined this site 4 months ago in a desperate attempt to get advice on my 23 yr old son who was in active addiction. Your posts stood out and I almost felt like I knew you personally over this time period. I am so very sad for you as our most maternal instinct is to protect our children and die for them if we have to. This event, as a mother, boggles our mind, we can't come to terms with the fact that we couldn't fulfill our promise to save our children. But of course, we have to realize it was never our battle to fight, sadly it was theirs.
I pray you find some comfort as time goes on and know Chris is at peace and free of his demons...

I keep asking myself how am I suppose to live without you...after loving you so long....how am I suppose to live without you when all we had is gone.My heart is utterly broken..
How can I just let you walk away just let you leave without a trace,when I stand here taking every breath with you ,your the only one who really knew me at all..
How can you just walk away from me when all I can do is watch you leave,Cos we shared the laughter,and the pain and even shared the tears .You're the only one who really knew me at all...
so take a look at me now there's just an empty space and there's nothing here to remind me ,just the memory of your face,take a look at me now.And you coming back to me is against all odds and that's what I have to face.I wish I could just make you turn around turn around and see me cry there's so much I need to say to you so many reasons why,you're the only one who really knew me at all...so take a look at me now there's just an empty space but to wait for you is all I can do and that's what I got to face, so take a look at me now cos I'll be standing here and you coming back to me is against the odds and that's what I got to face..take a look at me now........Chris I love you 4eva Mom

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss!! My heart goes out to you and your family!!
I am sorry for your loss I will have you and your family in my prayers.
i am so sorry for your loss, for your pain- you have helped so many people- it is little consolation- but your advice has stopped some other family going through what you have to endure- your son has not suffered in vain- through his addiction you learned to help others around you- it wont help the pain i am sorry - may christopher rest in the arms of the lord - i am truly sorry for your loss-
Sorry 4 your loss
i pray that God give you and your family the strength to pass through this.
