Chelsea
This was Chelsea at her baby shower, 9 years ago. She was 19.
My sweet sister died on 9/11/16 at the young age of 26 from a heroin overdose. she left behind a 7 year old daughter. It's been over a year and I still feel like the bomb just went off. I struggle and cry every day. The pain is crippling and my mom is even worse than I am. Every time she has to say her laughter died... I just can't even describe to people what that is like and how our lives have been forever changed. I have never known pain and loss like this before. Sometimes it still doesn't feel real and I am desperate to wakeup from this never ending nightmare. When I look into the sweet face of my neice and hold her as she cries for her mom, it destroys me all over again. I constantly search for understanding. I haven't found it yet. I constantly try to figure out how we are supposed to live without Chelsea...Haven't figured that out either. I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter. It sounds like she was an amazing and beautiful young woman, like our Chelsea. I often reach out to others who are living the same pain, just grasping at anything. God bless you and your family.
