Welcome to the Embrace Family Recovery Podcast, where we explore the challenges and resilience of families impacted by addiction. Today we return to Jay who courageously shares his story of navigating his son’s battle with addiction and the devastating aftermath of his death from fentanyl.
Together, we delve into the complexities of parenting a child with addiction, the painful questions of what could have been done differently, and the vital role of self-compassion in the healing process. We also tackle the stigma surrounding addiction, how anger can shape grief, and the importance of support and understanding for families walking this difficult path.
Through this heartfelt conversation, Jay reveals how he has channeled his grief into advocacy, raising awareness about the realities of addiction and the importance of community in healing. Join us as we honor the memory of those lost and learn how to find strength, connection, and hope amid heartbreak.
