Picking Up the Pieces...
My daughter and I created a page named Picking Up the Pieces in the hopes that it will give those who have been affected by the opioid epidemic a place to unite. I lost my son, Ian, on April 20, 2018 to a deadly combination of Fentanl, Carfentanyl, and Methamphetamine. My son was never a m**h user and we were led to believe that he overdosed on he**in.
We were wrong, once we received the toxicology report we found that cause was not the case at all. The loss of our son was devastating and we knew that som**hing had to be done. His death is now being treated as a homicide and currently under investigation.
As time went on, I started to join groups to help deal with grief. I chose to utilize by pain for the good of others. I became involved within the community volunteering at different events associated with recovery. Lucky for me, I had experience. My daughter just celebrated 4-years of sobriety this past September. She's seen the worst, and she's seen the very best. To watch her grow into the person she is today is absolutely amazing.
