“Dear Jack,” Barbara writes to her son. Through these letters and raw prose sections relating to them, she recounts the past and explores questions of motherhood, responsibility, guilt, and spirituality. In Dear Jack: A Love Letter to My Son, Barbara Bates Conroy shares her highly personal and tragic experiences with drug addiction, family discord, loss, and grief. When her son, Jack, passed away from a heroin overdose in 2015 after struggling with substance abuse for years, Barbara continued to write letters to him. She always had, ever since he was a baby, through his difficult teenage years. It seemed the only thing to do: to keep writing to him, to keep trying to reach him. When her son died, the unimaginable for a parent, Barbara invested herself in grief workshops and alternative healing modalities, and found herself on a new spiritual path, one that proved crucial to moving her life forward, and to coping with her past. With the aid of psychics, mediums, intuitives, and her cultivated powers of introspection and recognition, Barbara comes to terms with her own pain and power, as well as Jack’s. Her unconventional memoir is an intimate, moving and unforgettable story.
*All proceeds from Dear Jack go to The Jackson Scott Conroy Foundation, which was established following the tragic death of Jackson from an overdose at the age of twenty one. The Foundation is dedicated to support teens and young adults suffering from opioid and heroin addiction. Costly treatment centers are often out of reach, and we will award scholarships and partial scholarships to fund treatment through an application process.

Review
"On the surface, Dear Jack is a story about a woman trying to process the grief of losing her son to addiction. But as we read each of the letters she wrote to her son Jack from his innocent childhood on into his descent into addiction, and about all that unfolded in between, we find she is taking us on a transformative journey through the dark underside of the pain that often comes with being human and the light that can be found there when we look deeply enough. She takes us with her on her own personal quest or ‘treasure hunt,’ to more deeply understand what pain is, what love is, and what really matters in the end."
--Shawn Phelps, Intuitive Advisor
“In Dear Jack, Barbara Conroy pours out her heart as only a mother who has lost a child to drug addiction can do. In her letters to her son Jack, she paints a picture of a wonderful young man on a path of self-destruction. Barbara’s letters leave the reader felling her love for Jack and the pain she felt in not being able to stop the roller coaster he was on. The book is raw, endearing, truthful and sad. Yet, the reader is filled with a sense of who Jack was beyond the drugs and the love between him and his mother. By the end of the book, I knew Jack, but more importantly, I felt the love between mother and son.”
--Anna Raimondi, Grief Counselor & Psychic Medium
