A Shot of Hope: Recovery Stories episodes

  • A Mother's Grief, A Brother's Memorial

    Alison is the mother of Adam Fishman, who graduated from Helping Up Mission years ago and passed away more recently. Jake is Adam's brother. They share Adam's story, but also the story of their grief journeys.

    Mother's Day, like any holiday, is joyous for some and bitter or bittersweet for others. This episode goes out to all the mothers and all the family members who don't know where their loved one is today, or who've lost their loved one to addiction. We hope Alison's and Jake's stories and experiences bring you some measure of hope and encouragement in your grief.

    "The catalyst, the breaking point, of me changing my life was me sitting on the side of a road one day and telling God that I accept this is going to be my life because you won't answer my prayer. "
