She shares the deep shame, anger, and grief she faced, and how faith, patience, and vulnerability played a key role in her healing journey. They both discuss the challenges of sharing their stories, the stigma surrounding addiction and loss, and the importance of allowing ourselves to sit with our pain before trying to make sense of it all. Don’t miss this raw conversation on resilience, healing, and finding purpose after tragedy.
