In the U.S., approximately 270 people die of a drug overdose every day based upon May, 2024 statistics. For Kellie Sipos and her family, these statistics became very personal on July 22, 2018 when their precious 24 year old daughter, Emilie, lost her battle with an addiction. Far too many parents have have had their lives shattered as a result of this insidious blight in our nation. Listen as Kellie shares her story, with refreshing authenticity and transparency, about a journey that began with unspeakable, crushing grief resulting in her own personal battle with substance dependency as she tied to deal with the pain.  Kellie shares how GOD met her in some of her darkest moments comforting, healing, and restoring hope, eventually leading Kellie to start My Child Left Home for Heaven, a non-profit whose mission is "serving grieving families through podcasts and support groups, as well as burial/cremation expenses for families in financial need ..." Please visit her website for additional information as well as her podcast by the same name. I believe you'll find hope and encouragement as you listen to today's episode.
