I've been a fan of Tennessee blogger and author Katie Allison Granju for years. So it's with much sadness that over the last month, I've read her honest account of her teenage son Henry's drug addiction, hospitalization from an overdose and a violent assault, and his recent death. I didn't know Henry or his family personally, but I am grieved that he is no longer in this world. Part of the reason Katie blogged about this ordeal was so that parents will recognize the dangers of drug use and intervene early. Henry's spiral into addiction started with a bit of marijuana experimentation at age 14, and his parents could not have predicted this end.

Thanks for sharing, Erin. This is so terribly tragic. I appreciate her honesty and forthrightness. I was surprise to learn that she is 8 mos pregnant as well! What a situation to be in to lose a child just as you are bringing another one in to this world.
Yes, I believe she is 42 and she is pregnant with a toddler, and has two older children as well. She also works full-time. This family needs lots of prayer and support.
