Thanks for letting us know, your love for him is so evident. I’m so sorry to hear this.
I’m not good with words, so here’s an internet-hug: ((((()))))
Jesus Christ, man. I am so sorry to hear it. My own friends have been falling left and right over the past 5 years to the fucking devil that is opiates. I know there’s nothing I can say to you that is going to make this situation any better for you, but my thoughts are with you all the same.
I’m sorry to hear that about him and his struggles.
So very, very sorry for your loss.
How terribly sad! I ache for you and your family.
My sympathies. In your time of grief, may your good memories help carry you through the darkest times ahead.
Chefguy, your post was beautiful; I am crying as I type right now. I’m so, so very sorry for your loss.
The random tears will happen. I lost someone very important to me last summer and for 4 or 5 months I had a handful of episodes where I had to pull over while driving, excuse myself from a group, etc. It’s okay.
I don’t know you or your son outside the board, but as a father myself, my heart breaks for you. I’m very sorry for your loss.
I’m so very sorry for your loss. Peace to you and your family.
I am very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry. Words are never enough.
May he Rest In Peace.
My condolences. The struggle to survive an addiction is real; it’s a hell of a horrible disease, and it takes a lot of our best people, sadly transforming us into something far, far from our best before it’s done with us.
I know it’s little comfort now, but know that he did do himself and others good with what he did to recover; he did inspire others to get and stay clean with every meeting he ever went to. And if he was at all like me, he found many moments of peace and happiness along the way, amidst the storm that is battling the addiction.
My condolences chefguy.
I know there’s more to say, but words fail me. Losing a child is heartbreaking.
My heart breaks for you. I don’t have to imagine what it’s like - I know what it’s like. My son died 3 years ago.
Take care, he’ll always be with you.
My deepest sympathies.
I am so very, very sorry - I don’t have the words. I hope you can soon find comfort and peace, Chefguy.
Very very sorry for your loss.
Please remember to take care of yourself in the middle of taking care of everything else.
I’m so very sorry to read this. My heart aches for you.
I wish you strength and peace amidst your grief.
Very sorry for your loss.
