Mayson

Mayson was a free spirit who was passionate about music and cooking. He was a self-taught guitar player at nine-years-old, and also learned the piano, trumpet and French horn. Even though he had a close relationship with his mother, Amanda, and his family, he had a troubled youth and was expelled from multiple schools mainly for drug use. At 22, he was living on his own, working and appeared to be doing well. However, in August 2020, Amanda received a message from a Chaplain who broke the news that her son was found deceased at his residence. She found out later that this was his sixth overdose. Amanda said she had this knowing that Mayson’s life on this earth would be brief and the realization shakes her to her core. She is doing her best to move forward with a grief recovery program called The Grief Recovery Method: https://www.griefrecoverymethod.com/our-programs/1-on-1-support#search-block If you would like to tell your story about an overdose death, please contact Susan Claire at grievingoverdosedeath@gmail.com http://grievingoverdosedeath.libsyn.com/ Music provided by La Atlántida
