This happened a few feet from where we were standing. It was a confusing, shocking scene. Every second seemed to slow down as the world went silent around us. My first thoughts were that it had to be a joke, it must be some type of staged presentation. Everyone seemed to be frozen in the moment. It was impossible to process what was happening in those first minutes. Acceptance of a painful reality is a process.

In the following weeks when I would see other families who had witnessed it with us, inevitably the shock and sadness of that day would come up. I thought it was a joke. There are times when reality is too shocking and painful to take in all at once.

In relation to having a son, daughter or other loved one possibly having a frightening addiction, alcohol problem, or substance use disorder SUD , truth of this magnitude at first can be extremely challenging to accept. It takes time.

But I do not agree that having knowledge of something damaging, and not appearing to address it, means you are allowing it. I tend to look deeper.
