[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 743582, member: 15032"] I think two words sum it up: self-compassion We have so much compassion for everyone else but do we have compassion for our own hearts and what we have had to endure? If not, we need to search for that. I heard a story last night from my son that a young man that graduated from his program 3 months ago (we attended the graduation during our visit with our son) died from a heroin overdose a few weeks ago. Actually two days before our son graduated from the program. I remember this young man well. He was 22. He had movie star good looks and was very confident. His mother was a physician and his father owned a company. He had two sisters. They gave him a brand new Ford F-150 upon his graduation. He was poised and confident and filled with the Holy Spirit. I remember wishing my son could be like him. I felt he would go far in life. He had it all. My son did not tell us until last night because he did not want us to think that this boy's death had anything to do with him. How could it not affect me? I cannot stop thinking about him, his family and the speech that he made at his graduation. He had it all. [/QUOTE]
