Re: “Obituary: Madelyn Linsenmeir, 1988-2018”

My deepest condolences on your loss. Losing a child is the ultimate heartbreak. Thank you for sharing Maddie's story. I can't help but think others will benefit. Drug addiction is no respector of race, age or socioeconomic status. My own mother had a Masters degree, a successful career, a loving family..and an addiction to opiates for many years. She also suffered from major depression. After a serious suicide attempt in 2003 which was horribly traumatic for our family, she maintained her sobriety until she passed away in 2013. She was never free of the depression though and felt the stigma of that, her addiction and suicide attempt. I hope that as more people talk about these things, people will have compassion and will recognize these issues as illnesses in need of treatment and not character flaws. So I thank you.
