In this episode we interview Gwen, Andrews Mom and tell Andrew's story. Andrew was a 21 year old boy who accidentally overdosed when he received drugs that ended up being almost 100% pure Fentanyl. We tell his story and Gwen's story. She took years trying to make sense of what happened, why it happened and her journey from forced grief and a complete mental breakdown to how she had to learn to live again.
Her journey of grief and recovery is much like those who have lost children. She provides insight to the programs that helped her and how she manages to live once again with her grief. At the end of the episode we read her letter to her son which is beautiful and heartfelt.
