My Mom

[Dana Jean]

....folks, these words are a bit of grace to a heavy heart-and I can't possibly thank you enough for caring as you do.....this is a daily struggle for all of us, and we are nearly at wits end....we cannot force her into treatment, she is nearly 30 and able to refuse....our biggest fear is, that she won't be diverted from this hellpath and we will end up burying our daughter.....I don't wish for anyone to feel sorry for us, it's not why I spilled my beans-so to speak....I just knew I would find comfort here as I try to be the strong one for Tracy...I cannot crack right now, she is to vulnerable.....she had put so much effort into resuscitation, and was so stressed-she fainted on me when we got outside....to add ultimate insult to injury-as I've said before, we live on one of the busiest streets in town and this all went down during the annual Trick or Treat time-so half the friggin' town was witness to the 4 squad cars, two ambulance and a fire truck that showed up....I'm proud of my clan though, Mom did hella good work on keeping her alive till I got there and my boys were crowd control and runners....I guess after all this rambling, I'm simply asking for good thoughts as you can spare them and thanks again for being my extended family.....Scott

All that and more!

I don't know either of you well (being new here), but I'm both sorry for KRF's loss and for what GNTLGNT is going through.

Thanks goodness! Now, just get her system all clean and hydrated. Everything regulated and she is gold.

Scott I am so sorry you guys had to go through that..rough.Perhaps print out all the good wishes from your friends here and ask her to read them,and realize she is affecting not just herself but others as well..I don't usually know how to reach addicts,I have had some success,but not always,it really depends on the level the person is on..I truly hope she can bring herself to seek treatment and life..
When I was sixteen,my older brother Dave was coming home from work,he worked two jobs,his big wish was to get enough money to restore an old sixties car he bought..he was struck and killed by a hit and run driver,and I happened on the accident scene.It has been a part of my life,ever since,the sights and all that happened..Today,November 1,he would have been fifty four.I think about how he would have affected others lives,because he was such a good,generous soul..I wish he had the chance to restore that old car.I hope your dear daughter chooses life,there is a lot to live for..hang in there my friend..

Scott and Tracey you have a large cross to bear right now. She is so lucky to have such wonderful and loving parents as you
both are. So many on this MB care so much and in the days ahead never hesitate to talk with any one of us. We are
always here for you my friend (((hugs and prayers)))

Thank you all for your wonderful thoughts, prayers and happy thoughts. Today wasn't as bad as I feared- I was at work and really didn't have the time to stop and think about Mom being gone for a year now. Now I'm home and will try to focus on all of the good things she did in her lifetime. The pain is there but it's lessened knowing I have my Katet to lighten the load. Thank you all from the depths of my heart.

Prayers were answered. Stay strong my friend. We are all here for you and Tracy!!

Yesterday was no picnic either. It would have been my mom's 70th birthday (she passed in December 14).

I arm myself with the knowledge that she's at rest now, free from pain.

...and I could use one in return tonight...not to overshare, but my wife and I had to save my baby girl tonight....was clinically dead when I got there...god bless CPR and Narcan...this isn't the first time either...I am at my wits end...and as I type this, Tracy walked in an told me that her tox screen was negative, they classified it as a severe panic attack that put her under....I can't shoulder much more...thanks for "listening" Dana....

I hope your baby girl is okay with no lasting side effects at all - so glad you could be there - just saw this now - saying a prayer for you all (((Scott/Tracy and family)))

You sound exhausted - take some time to recuperate and rest now - wishing you all the best
