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.

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.

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

Sibling Loss

This group is for anyone that has lost a brother or sister. Sibling loss is often minimized and people don't realize how devastating losing a sibling can be. I lost my older sister and my life will never be the same. She was my only sibling, I looked up to her, I went to her for everything. I lost my past, present and future. It is traumatic.See More
