Adam Hebert - Leominster

Adam was born June 12th 1989 and died October 18th 2021 of a heroin overdose. Adam grew up like any other kid in a small community he had may friends and played sports. His favorite was hockey. Adam also did very well in school it came easy to him. He was one of the loves of my life, the oldest of my three children and a very special caring person. So then how did this happen? I couldn’t tell you. I ask myself that everyday. When he became a teenager he changed and started smoking pot and was getting into trouble with the police. He was in and out of detention centers from the time he was 14 until he was 18. At that point it seemed he understood and he cleaned up his act wasn’t in trouble anymore and was growing up. About nine months before he died I found out he was using heroin, I was heart broken I tried everything I could to get him help over those nine months. I even went as far as going to the courts and had him committed section 35. They only kept him 12 days. Adam was dead 5 days after he was released. It was different ten years ago so much has changed since then. I wish he knew how much he was loved, I wish he didn’t give up on himself.
I am a mother of an addict who lost his life and I still and will forever love him.
