Our 30-year-old son passed away last March. He died of natural causes from a heart attack. He was first diagnosed with schizoaffective and bipolar while in college. He lived with us for nine years, and last year moved into a residential treatment center. He was doing so well. He was enjoying meeting new people. He was on his new medication. He was an athlete before his diagnosis, but with all the medications and lack of exercise, the autopsy showed he had an enlarged heart. He was a kind and polite person. We miss him every day. It makes me smile to think he literally had a big heart. I miss him so much.
