Despite the Darkness: 15 Months

15 Months

15 months - and it hurts just as much.

I have some new insights, but I'm too raw today to write them. I'll try soon.

I haven't written it every month, but if you don't hear from me on the 4th, know that it still hurts as much. If that changes, I'll be sure to let you know.

My son died on July 4, 2017 - 4 days before his 44th birthday. He hanged himself in the workshop behind his house.

Greg was addicted to drugs. He took all kinds of drugs. I'd like to think it started with prescription medication he took for his back, but I think that's a mother's delusion. I think he's taken drugs for many years, but his addiction has been obvious for the past two years. I would like to think that the hanging was due to drugs taken that morning, but whether he took them that morning or not, drugs were the cause of his death.

I hope to chronicle the first year of this journey for me - in hopes that someone, somewhere might find it helpful and know that they are not alone.
