In 1993... My Grandfather died, followed by my mother, and then my father died unexpectedly 2 months later.

I found myself orphaned and homeless at 17 years old, and I was already struggling with severe psychological issues from surviving years of child abuse and social isolation.

I had an eighth grade education, no substantial work experience, no adults left in my life, and I had alienated myself from all my friends...

What would you do...

I just wrote this very personal article about my unique experience surviving death and grief.

Please consider giving it a read, and if it moves you in some way, please like, tweet, etc. in an effort to share information, offer support, and raise awareness... Thanks everyone :]

"In 1993, I knew it was coming. My mother’s brain … ravaged by the spreading cancer, didn’t even recognize me anymore. Everyone around her knew she was on borrowed time. I started smoking marijuana, finding solace in sedation, as my life darkened under the shadow of the grim reapers scythe." --From my article for, The Good Men Project
