I can’t feel anything but guilt. I should have guessed what was happening. Had I rushed to his apt I might have been able to save him. But I Don’t know if he died suddenly or could have been saved. It was fentanyl. Still waiting for final tox report. I feel like my heart has died with him. I can’t bear this guilt. I tried to help him for 20 years. Tried Everything under the sun and many times over and never stopped trying. And HE tried over and over. I loved him so much. I spoke to him 2 hours before. I worried all the time. This time I was not worried. I can’t understand why. It was a “perfect storm” of circumstance that led me to make a wrong decision and one moment of indecision – i found him the next morning. I can’t bear it. It’s been 12 weeks. I am numb as a heavy stone. It is a rare moment when I suddenly wail and cry. And then I’m stone again. It’s indescribable.

My only son has been gone for 5 years. We have built a new house this year. One day I went to get the mail and there was a letter addressed to him. My heart stopped how anyone would know our new address and put it together . Only God would have a hand in it. It blessed me to see it but it still hurt so much.
