When a Child Dies from Drugs: Practical Help for Parents ... (ISBN 1413439136)

Love this book:
If you are in need of answers and support after losing your child to a drug overdose, you should read this book. Written by the Wittbergers, parents of Jenny, who died of a drug overdose right before her 21st birthday, it details the devastation one feels at the sudden, unexpected and sad death of one's own child to drugs. Beautifully written with compassion and understanding for this unique type of grief. Since losing my own son of 23 years just 6 months ago to a drug overdose, finding ways to survive and face living the rest of my life without my son has been a moment by moment struggle. This book was a huge help to me.

Surviving the ultimate loss: The death of a child:
The Wittbergers' book is profound and poignant. If you've suffered the loss of a child you will relate to Pat and Russ's heartbreak. Their book will help you through this grief process. You'll realize that you are not alone in this journey. Read it and reread it and treasure it. I know it will help you. My husband and I also suffered their heartbreak, losing our 31 year old son to the disease of addiction. No parent should survive their child and it is to the Wittbergers' credit that they opened their hearts to share their story with the world in the hope of helping others. Sheryl Letzgus McGinnis, Author I Am Your Disease (The Many Faces of Addiction)

For Parents Who Are Suffering the Final Blow from Their Child's Drug Abuse:
This book is simple and to the point. It is not an analysis of addiction, or of how people get there. It's simply to help parents cope with the fear they have probably spent years worrying about - the death of their child from drug/substance abuse. It is heartfelt advice, and feels like you are talking with another parent who knows exactly what you've been through and are now feeling-because they have. Strongly recommended for parents, friends, and family members. One of few books addressing this topic specifically and well worth buying.

Excellent Resource:
Well written, practical help from people who have been there and done that.
