Grieving Overdose Death

About Grieving Overdose Death

This podcast was created to give a voice to those who have lost someone close to them from an accidental overdose. Parents, spouses, sisters, brothers and others will be interviewed to celebrate the life of their loved one who died from an overdose and to remember this person as more than their addiction. We will explore how others cope and pass on this information to those who are grieving and feel they have nowhere to turn. Unfortunately, there are many out there and the numbers are growing every day. If you would like to tell your story about the life of your loved one who died from an accidental overdose, the struggles you both faced, and how you are coping, please email your request to Susan Claire at grievingoverdosedeath@gmail.com. The views expressed by guests on this podcast are their own. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/grieving-overdose-death/id1462181055

[…] So that's kind of a brief outline. He loved his family. He loved his cousins and had many adventures with everyone, some of which I'm still learning, you know, at family events, hearing stories about things that happened as he was growing up. He was 49 when he died, so he had lots of experiences and lots of people in his life who loved him and that he cared deeply about. It sounds like he left a little bit of himself everywhere with his woodworking. Yes, he did. And that's wonderful that you hear a lot of stories about him and still learning about him. Yeah.
