Realize for certain that you are not alone . There are many tens of thousands who have found themselves in a situation not much unlike yours. We invite you to gain strength as you explore GRASP.

Finally, we elicit your involvement. Let us know on our web site about thoughts that have been of value to you in your search to get through this experience. In doing so, you will help others who are searching for answers, where there seem so few are available.

Those who are left behind find their grief is overpowering. The sudden passing is nothing that had been planned for, because as long as the person was alive, there was still hope.

GRASP is now in its embryonic stage. But, as with any new project, it will develop and grow in the weeks ahead. We welcome suggestions and input, especially source material we can add to the web page, and we encourage your comments.

GRASP is for all of you who have had loved ones slip away as a result of drugs and to help you on your path to recovery.

Above all, remember, you are not alone.

Here is something that you may want to read daily:

BE COMFORTED

Treasure precious moments. Remember the love.
Discover peace within. Have faith. Seize hope.
Draw on Inner strength. Release fear. Let yourself cry.
Take comfort in friends. Be patient with yourself.
Trust in tomorrow. Attend your needs.
Ask for help. Let others give. Trust enough to take.

Lean on others. Know people care.
Feel the warmth of friendship. Be circled by love.
Vow to move forward. Know the sun will shine.
Behold new life. See the light ahead.
Look ahead with confidence. Celebrate dawn.

Jan Michelsen

And there WILL be a new dawn.
You are not alone.
