Living While Loving Your Child Through Addiction

EP108 Q&A How Can I Live a Happy Life Knowing My Child Might Die?

Listen Later

When we have a child struggling, it’s easy to feel like our happiness is tied to theirs. That belief, often summed up in the phrase, "You’re only as happy as your unhappiest child," can leave us feeling powerless and overwhelmed. But

what if letting go of that belief could create more peace, joy, and connection—not just for you, but for your child as well?

In this heartfelt episode, Heather dives into three powerful questions inspired by a mom from her Facebook group:

  1. How do you live a happy life knowing your child might die?
  2. Are we really only as happy as your unhappiest child?
  3. How can you be happy when your child is so unhappy?

    4. Through her own experiences and hard-earned wisdom, Heather shares how shifting our focus inward, questioning unhelpful beliefs, and embracing acceptance can lead to

    healing and peace of mind.
