"I am Helen sister Peggy. Her and I lived within one mile of each other and saw each other every day. We were extremely close and her death was devasting to me. It took me two years to locate our half sisters and apparently Debbie is the one who has contacted you.
Helen did not die from the pain, she took her own life. She did not take her life because she could not live with the pain, she did it because of the Oxy she had been taking for 6 years and it destroyed her. They took her Oxy away from h er and the addiction was so bad that she just could not live without the medication. Within the month she was trying to detox herself. she thought she was through it and so did I. But in the last week something happened to her mind that I do not understand. Our family doctor put it the best when he said to me it's not that Helen couldn't live with the pain it is that she could not live without the pain medication, and the first doctor who perscribed it to her is the person that killed her.
I do not know you and not familiar with the web site but I want to tell everyone who is going through what Helen went through. Find another medication to deal with the pain. Even if it does not work as well, it is better to live with some pain then to not live at all. Oxy is a powerful evil medication. Do not take it, it will destroy you and your family. She left behind a beautiful 18 year old daughter and a 19 year old wonderful son. Our lives will never be the same."
