There's no easy way to say this

My youngest son died early this morning.

He had been struggling with addiction for a few years now, but he had gotten his act together. I saw him last night and he didn't look well. He'd been stiffed on a paycheck and was really annoyed about that and a couple other things. The prescription meds he was taking to fight the addiction were giving him all sorts of side effects and he was trying hard to get away from them.

From all appearances, he overdosed sometime in the middle of the night.

I'm numb... This has been the worst day of my life.

He leaves behind a 12 year old son that adored him.

My son was a gentle soul. He was very rough and tough on the outside... but such a sweet person inside. I'm going to miss him. He was 32.

Sorry for your terrible loss.

So very sorry John. Words just aren't enough right now. Our prayers are with you and your family. Especially that young grandson.
 
Oh John that’s devastating, I’m so sorry for you and your family. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and all whose lives your son touched.
 
I'm terrible when it comes to saying the words that I feel when these things happen. Please be assured I'm absolutely heartbroken for you.
 
Condolences from Maggie and I.
Sending prayers to you and your family.
Losing a child is something you will never get over and will take the pain to your own grave.
Addiction may have taken his body,but pray that his soul is now at peace.
 
John, I am so sorry to hear this. The hardest thing for any parent is to have to lay their child to rest. I have been in that boat and it still hurts 15 years later. Any time you need to talk, send me a PM, and I will give you a call.

So sad, so sorry John. I know all to well the shock of such a tragic loss and would not wish it on anyone....... No more words.
