Grieving Out Loud: A Mother Coping with Loss in the Opioid Epidemic

Two moms form a bond following the stigmatized deaths of their sons


Listen Later

Every five minutes, an American dies from a drug overdose. It's a startling statistic that Ann Breeding and Natalie Kritenbrink know about all too well. We caught up with the two Des Moines area mothers who lost sons to overdoses at the DEA Family Summit for parents who've lost children to fentanyl in November of 2022. 

Hear how these two mothers have bonded over their grief and about their mission to prevent other moms from going through similar situations in this episode of Grieving Out Loud.
