As the United States faces its deadliest drug epidemic in history, lives are being lost in unimaginable ways. Over the past two decades, more than 5,000 children and teens have died from fentanyl—among them, toddlers and even infants.

Janan Haugen knows these devastating numbers all too well. She’s lost not only her son to drugs, but also her granddaughter to drugs.

In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, Janan opens up about her emotional journey, the lessons she’s learned through immense heartache, and how she’s finding the strength to move forward after such unimaginable losses.
