The Power of Prayer
The power of prayer can benefit us in many ways and help to come through many difficult and trying times.
Thank you to everyone for praying for my family.
Because of this tragedy that has become a part of my family I have made a decision to channel my energies into helping others that may be brought into similar situations.
I have recently joined the group of HARMD, Helping America Reduce Methadone Deaths. Can be found at www.HARMD.org. HARMD is made up of the Families and Friends that have lost a loved one to Methadone. Those who had become a fatal victim because of having it prescribed while in a clinic, illegally obtaining it from a party it was prescribed for, (not them) and for those who had it prescribed by a Doctor for pain management.
Methadone Death rates in the U.S. are 4000 a year and increasing. Methadone is the #2 killer of Drugs. #1 being Cocaine.
Methadone can be a safe an effective Medication to treat addictions and for pain management. As long as it is regulated and administered properly by Medical personnel and used only by the person it is prescribed for and not sold on the streets or mixed with certain other RX Meds or "street drugs".
Many families, have experienced the negative side of the potential for disaster from Methadone. It does not discriminate to age, social staus or ethnic background.
The www.PetitionSite.com is made up of familes and friends that have had Methadone come into their life and caused them to lose a loved one and to help prevent any further victims. The petition is titled, "Stop Methadone Deaths Tougher Restrictions on Methadone Prescriptions".
Lord I pray for all of these victims listed there and for the grieving families and friends
My son's personal story was not an easy decision for me to bring out into the open. But through God, Belief and Prayer I have been able to do so and the prayers of those here at Gratefulnes. Thank you.
Seneca's story of addiction can be viewed on www.RevolutionHealth.com, In a search on this page, Type in "Drug addiction my son died from Methadone".
Lord I pray for my Son and for those that may be there to read his story to take precautions and be aware. Awareness is Knowledge.
A Mother's grief as well as grieving for a family member, friend or even a pet is a very personal emotional aspect of life and living. Belief in God and prayer will help get us through. Not to forget but to find different ways of coping to ease the pain of loss and through time.
Through God and Prayer we will continue our walk with Him at our side and help others that may be struggling.
Lord I Pray for those that have the burden of their own Crosses to carry. May we forever come together to give Strength, Hope and the Power of Prayer and the Spirituality of Candle Lighting.
Amen
Seneca's Mom
