Today, August 30th, is National Grief Awareness Day. The Compassionate Friends supports families grieving the death of a child, grandchild, or sibling. It's important that everyone has a place to share their grief, no one should feel isolated or alone. It's our vision that everyone who needs us will find us and everyone who finds us will be helped.

Picking Up the Pieces...​

Picking Up the Pieces...

M​y 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.
