I think it's a difficult one really, because you don't really know how the correct way to grieve is. I mean there is no correct way and everyone deals with loss so differently, but the way I've coped is through throwing myself into work and just throwing myself into my studying and my training and working all hours of the day, and it's just really helped having that to focus on, to be honest.
When Stephanie lost her mother, Elaine, to addiction, she faced a heart-wrenching reality. Elaine was more than her struggle with alcohol; she was a world traveler, a passionate cook, and a music lover with tastes spanning from rock ‘n roll to reggae. In this touching episode of 'Voices of Solace', Stephanie opens up about her close bond with her mother, the joy of their shared moments, and the deep sorrow of her loss.
She candidly discusses the pain of never hearing her mom’s voice again and the longing to express her love one last time. Stephanie’s story is a poignant reminder that addiction often hides behind closed doors, affecting those we cherish most. She emphasizes the importance of remembering loved ones for who they truly are, beyond their addiction. Throughout the episode, listeners will find a raw and honest portrayal of grief, the struggle to cope, and the small steps toward healing.
Stephanie shares the coping mechanisms that have helped her navigate this difficult journey and the support systems she has leaned on. This episode is not just about loss; it's about celebrating Elaine's vibrant life and finding strength in the memories left behind.
