I thought I would join this community as I have been searching the net for support and I wanted to share my sadness with someone who might understand.
I have had some wonderful support from Elizabeth and Sue who have both lost sons to addiction, so thank you for that. But I want to make a difference to others lives so my lovely son Michael did not die in vain.

Hi Susan – and a very warm welcome to the Wired In community. You are in the right place. If you haven’t had a chance have a look at Ann Marie’s blogs as she is in a very similar position. If you click on her picture this will link you to her profile page.
A very warm welcome to you Susan. I’m so glad you found the site and am sure your input will be invaluable to many. We’ll all be here to support you too. All the best, Sar
Susan welcome and please let me say, I am so sorry for the loss of your son. My heart broke reading your short blog. Please if you can find the courage and stength, share with us a little of your experience.
My deepest sympathy goes out to you now, big hug and welcome to the community, i hope we can help a little x
Susan, I crumble within myself when I read and here from the likes of you. Welcome to Wired In, I am new myself, I just don’t know what words to say?
Yet my heart and thoughts are here for your loss.
Hello Sue,
I just wanted to welcome you. I hope you find the support you need here and the space to share your sadness. In taking this step, which can be hard, you will make a difference here.
Take care.
Sue,
On wired in, you have somewhere to share your experiences and sadness with others who will understand. I have been reading the site daily for many months, but this is my first comment, to say welcome, you can be heard. Sending you much love.
And to all the other people who have posted and I have followed for many months without comment. Thank you too.
Much love, Wee Face.
p.s, annemarie: you are great, keep up the good work. Your in my thoughts daily. Bring on the Glasgow recovery march
Thank you to all of those who sent me such lovely supportive comments.
Yesterday my son had an autopsy and the cause of death is still no known and further tests are to be carried out – it is as if the pain continues and to see the distress my other children (adults) are experiencing is so very, very raw.
Michael was such a wonderful young man and at this moment in time I cannot believe he is really dead – it’s like a bad dream and my only feeling at this moment in time is one of ‘sickness’ deep in my stomach.
No anger just a deep, deep sadness and a sense of unreality – what a waste and the emotional pain of those around me is devastating.
We still have such a long way to go and still no closure, it’s like living a nightmare.
Thank you all for listening.
Love Sue x
Sue,
Welcome to Wired In. You’ll fnd support and understanding here from folk who have shared experience. I have not lost a son, but have lost others dear to me through addiction.
For whatever it is worth, you’ll be in my thoughts.
My condolences. I am very sorry for your loss.
Oh Sue, what a burden to shoulder. Share your grief, stamp your feet and scream, if that will help. I share Peapod’s view that you have come to the right place. Courage, lady!
