Dear June

We lost our only son at 41 through alcoholism. He had battled with this terrible illness since his teenage years and a few times we thought he had beaten it.

He had been alcohol free for four years but after a relapse he lost the fight and also his life.

We miss him every day but at times I feel relieved that he no longer has to live with the constant battle.

As parents, we tried everything to help him but felt helpless. Is he finally at peace with himself?

June Says

As parents, we try to give our children the best upbringing we can.

We try to create the perfect family environmen­t to allow growth and security but also independen­ce.

As our children grow up, they develop their own characters and slowly begin to make choices and these can vary quite significan­tly from what we envisioned.

We try to steer them to the correct path but the older they become, the less they listen to their parents’ advice.

To them, we become that frustratin­g voice in their ear that they see as bothersome, irrespecti­ve of the life experience­s we have.

When we see them going into rough seas, we can only do the best we can to steer them away from the rocks.

I understand your frustratio­ns as my sister lost her 34-year-old son through alcoholism but not before, like yourselves, she exhausted all efforts to help him.

I immediatel­y felt your son draw close when I read your letter and strongly sense you had a close bond with him.

I get the impression he was a sensitive soul who always helped anyone and would put their needs before his.

His sensitive nature meant he fought a battle with himself emotionall­y and used alcohol as a crutch in order to help him cope with life. Be assured he is now very much at peace.

I feel he has on occasion given you a few signs in an attempt to let you know he is still close. I hear the names Lily and Jack being called. I can sense a female energy with your son.

I do not think she was very supportive towards him on this side but wants to let you know she is offering love and support to him on the spirit side and they have mended many broken bonds.

VERDICT

My mother’s name was Lillian (Lily) and she died before our son.

Our family dog when I lived with my parents was called Jack.

Mum wasn’t as tolerant of our son’s alcohol addiction and wanted nothing more to do with him. I am happy they’ve made things right.

He was always very sensitive and well liked and would always do his best to be helpful towards others.

I always stuck by him when others had enough and we had a very close bond.

He has given me many signs to let me know he is with me and I dream about him often.
