[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 764515, member: 19522"] Hi LMS, Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Thank you for still checking in here and sharing your wisdom and experience. I have had these fears for my two, but had to give them to God, as I would not be able to function. There are times when those thoughts creep in, for it is definitely a consequence they face if they continue on the path of active addiction and street life. I feel, too that I have slipped now and then to loss of self and mind because of the worries. I read that grief is the price we pay for love. Hubs has been gone for almost 8 years now, and the grief flows like the tides. There is something to be said about grieving the choices of those still living. It is agony, LMS. Though I am sorry for the loss of your son, I see how deaths finality does bring some closure to years of fearing the worst. I am sorry if I offend anyone with that stated. I don’t wish that finality on anyone at all. I just know the torment of not knowing where my adult child is, or what condition they are in. It is a constant ache. Thank you LMS, prayers are powerful . I have had to soothe my own catastrophic mindset with prayer in order to keep my sanity. I think the added responsibility of caring for my granddaughter has helped pull me through the dark times. May God grant you serenity and may your son rest in peace. Much love and (((hugs))) Leaf [/QUOTE]
