I am dedicating this blog to the memory of my son, Aryeh Nathan Glassman, June 12, 1988 - May 15, 2016.

When my oldest son, Ari, was twenty seven, he died of a drug overdose. He's been gone almost six years and I am still heartbroken. I decided to start a blog to reach out to other families in the same situation. As a mother of a son who died of an overdose, I understand the pain, anguish, and challenges of dealing with addiction. There are so many families who feel alone and lost. I would like to reach out to them. I want to use my blog as a safe place to connect with other suffering families. I plan on sharing my heart, my thoughts and and my feelings to let desperate families know that others out there care, and want to help. There is nothing worse than watching someone you love spiral out of control and lose their battle to this dreadful illness. Maybe together we can find some sense of peace in dealing with the loss of our loved ones.
