When our loved ones become addicted, our relationships with them often crumble and when they lose the battle, we are left with the guilt and the grief of a broken relationship.    When we look back, we tend to oversimplify the issue and we beat ourselves up for not being able to do more.   

In today's episode, I discuss the aftermath of losing Sam at a time that our relationship was severely compromised as well as why and how we tend to oversimplify the issue at our own expense.

I will also talk about "Habit Stacking," from "Atomic Habits" by James Clear has helped me during my grief process.

I will briefly update on my own progress during grief and leave you with 3 ways to begin feeling better as soon as you are able to access them as well as this week's limerick.  

As a reminder, I am not a licensed professional, a doctor, or a therapist.  I am a grieving mom here to share the story of my son's addiction and death as well as my journey to move forward and rediscover joy and purpose in my own life.
