Grief—it’s a heavy burden, a journey that changes us forever. Each person’s path through it is uniquely painful. Today, nearly one in three Americans has felt the devastating loss of someone to a drug overdose.
In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, Cheryl Juaire shares her heart-wrenching story of losing not one but two children to the relentless grip of addiction.
She shares the profound pain and isolation that comes with losing loved ones in such a stigmatized way. Yet, amidst her sorrow, Cheryl has found a purpose: helping others by creating a grief support group for those who have lost someone to illicit drugs.
