[QUOTE="healinginside, post: 763351, member: 29962"] My deepest prayers, hugs and sympathies to you on the loss of your son. Your son's death was an unpreventable tragedy by you or anyone other than him and he was probably even helpless to stop the pull of drugs. Anger is the second stage of the natural grief process (denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance) but you will find yourself moving from one stage to another and back in no linear fashion. It is ok and perfectly natural to feel angry in this situation and I'm sure seeing the texts lot a fire of frustration inside that you are dealing with now with your daughter. Coming here to vent is a good step. We are all here to listen and understand and offer whatever advice that we can. Your daughter made a mistake but probably stayed quiet bc she was scared or felt she was somehow protecting her brother. You both are going to need one another to get through this incredible loss. Don't let his death make you lose two kids. Take some time to process everything and forgive yourself. Mediation, prayer, counseling, group therapy. Uniting with other parents on bereavement can help. This will help you to work through these complex feelings of blame, guilt, and unanswered questions. Two people from my high school class just each lost sons to overdose and it is a world wide epidemic. Right now take it day by day or even hour by hour. Prayers for peace and light. [/QUOTE]
