Sometimes getting the right advice or help can be the difference between shivering in darkness and stepping out into the light.
When a family loses a loved one to opioids, the pain is unimaginable. For Ed and Brighid Hillmuth, the death of their son Christopher from a fentanyl overdose turned their world upside down. In this gripping episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', host Marc Lee Shannon sits down with the Hillmuths to share their raw and heartfelt journey through grief, understanding, and advocacy.
Christopher's story is a stark reminder that no one plans to fall victim to such a deadly substance. Yet, the Hillmuths refuse to let his worst decision define his life. Instead, they channel their pain into action, founding an organization in Christopher's honor aimed at preventing similar tragedies. The episode dives deep into the harsh realities of opioid addiction, the indiscriminate danger of fentanyl, and the critical need for education and open conversations about substance use.
It also highlights the importance of community support and peer-to-peer connections in the healing process. Ed and Brighid's story is a poignant call to action for anyone affected by addiction, offering hope and a pathway to making a difference.
