I’m so so sorry you are going through this. Grief is hard enough, but going through it secretly, all the while having to continue showing up for your kids, is just brutal.
Perhaps your friend was careful to hide your conversations behind…"

Profile Information
- About Me:
- I have worked as a social worker, counsellor for over 20 years with various populations. These include child protection, adult protection, family crisis, and addiction. Most recently working with men in addiction. I am also certified to teach yoga and have been certified for 8years, however I am more of a practitioner and have been for over 30 yrs. I am from a Spanish mother and Sri Lankan father. I have been married 21 years with two children... son ( 19 years at passing) and daughter 15 years old.
- About my Loss:
- I found my beautiful 19 year old son, deceased in his bed 7 months ago. My beautiful daughter was with me. He was healthy, vibrant and excited about life. He did not struggle with substances, he tried a common substance the evening before to calm his muscles and help sleep. This had a therapeutic dose of fentynol which his body had an allergic reaction to (coroners report). The loss and the trauma are great, I suffer daily but function. Lots of support but in so much emotional pain.
- Are You a Service Provider? If Yes, please tell us about your service.
- I am a therapist and provide trauma counselling to men struggling with addiction and mental health issues.
Currently on stress leave due to my recent situation.

It was not supposed to be like this
In 2014 I met the most amazing man ever. We were both in our very early 20s and were looking for different things at the time. We ceased communication for roughly 6 months. During which time, he completed basic training and joined the Air Force. By the time we reconnected he was already at his first duty station.. 8 hours away.We decided we wanted to continue our relationship and proceeded to cultivate a deeply emotional connection. Regular calls and video chats, visits while he was home on…See More
Being the Other Woman/Other Man
This is for anyone who has lost their lover to death and you were the other woman/other man in their life. We have to grieve in silence. I can't find any support groups and feel like I'm the only one going through this situationSee More
A Return to GriefShare and a Crisis of Identity
So I found myself headed back to the GriefShare support group last Monday. I was actually considering stopping my attending. Not because anything has been solved or fixed or resolved, but because things had settled down, and my problems have moved onto other issues. Then on a random scroll down Facebook lane, I see a posting from Jen's sister, Dallas, that her oldest daughter, Brooklyn, had been killed in Omaha a few days past. This tore me up. This family has endured more pain than any…See More
Loss of a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide
If you have lost a loved one to alcohol, substance abuse or suicide please share your story or feelings here. Share the love and beauty of the one you lost. Losing someone any of these ways is not natural and can be hard to understand and ask why? I lost my Mother to an overdose 9 years ago. She also suffered from major depression. Her doctor got her hooked on pain medication and she was addicted most of my life. These doctors who were suppose to help her ended up killing her in the end. I also…See More

Thank you Gita. And yes, I am fluent in typo.
Gita, I want to protect my son from the ugly things being said about him. Yes, he struggled with addiction. But I am so proud of him because before his wreck, he had been clean for over 2 months. When they did blood tests at the hospital before the organ center looked for recipients. He was clean. He had such a good heart. He would do anything he could to help anyone, even if he didn't like them. Now none of them will help me with his headstone while talking about how bad I am for letting him be there with it. So yeah, this experience sucks like a cheap hooker.
Gita, to my soul I am so very sorry for the loss of your son. I know your pain and I share it with you. I'm trying to find some logical reason why we have had to put our children down into their permanent beds. We all need a hug.
Dear Gita
I am so sorry to have to welcome you to this site. I lost my 17 year old son and only child 2 and a half yeas ago suddenly in a tragic car accident. I hope you can find some comfort and support here as you make your way through this devastating grief.
