Losing a Loved One
Erin Horn discusses how life was growing up in central Ohio. She recalls a happy and active childhood with her parents and 3 siblings. Like most families, mental health was not discussed. She does realize that most of her family members have experienced depression and anxiety at different times and at different levels of severity.
All of Erin’s siblings had an innate drive to do well in whatever they were doing. Inherently, this brings about pressure which can bring on instances of anxiety and depression.
She courageously takes us through the story of her youngest brother who passed away from an overdose a few years ago. Looking back on it, she sees that he struggled from an early age. It was hard for the family to spot any problems at the time because mental health was not a topic of proactive discussion or education.
Like many kids, Erin’s brother was prescribed pain medication for headaches he was having. Soon he was taking more than he needed because he liked the way the medicine made him feel. This was the beginning of a long struggle with addiction.
This is a story of a family’s unwavering love and how they left no stone unturned in order to get him help. Despite having stretches of sobriety and attending great rehab facilities, the disease of addiction took his life.
Erin’s passion for mental health awareness really shines through in her work. She joined an organization called 1N5 that works to destigmatize mental health, especially in youth.
