Every parent who loses a son or daughter to addiction is left with many more questions than answers.   For me, different questions haunt me at different stages.   Today, I talk about 4 that are heavy on my heart right now and why.

Also, I discuss why I believe that it is important to experience grief at it's fullest in a systematic way.    The temptation to avoid the hardest thoughts and discussions can be high but healing doesn't work that way.   It's like a video game, we can't skip levels, even the ones we can hardly stand to experience.

At the end of this episode, as always, I leave you with 3 simple but very effective ways that we can all feel better each day, as well as the limerick that I have written for Sam this week.

I am not a medical professional or a counselor, I am a grieving mom, here to share my story and the ways I am using to move forward on a daily basis.
