Navigating Grief and Addiction: A Conversation with Gloria Englund

Hurt people hurt people, which is why what Gloria is doing with families, what I'm doing with families, is so important because I think, until we start acknowledging the impact on us and understanding even some aspects of this being a no fault disease and that the person is trapped, hijacked by a disease, that we can maybe get to the point that we understand that when we're lashing out, it's from our woundedness as a result of their diseases, behavior on us, and that that cycle doesn't help get any of us anywhere.
Margaret Swift Thompson brings a heartfelt episode to 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast' as she sits down with Gloria Englund. This episode takes listeners on a deep dive into the complex emotions and challenges faced by families dealing with addiction and loss. Margaret and Gloria discuss their upcoming retreat, 'A Different Kind of Grief', aimed at helping those who have lost loved ones to addiction-related deaths.
They explore the family disease of addiction, offering coping strategies and emphasizing the importance of creating a safe, supportive space for grieving families. The conversation also highlights the need for setting boundaries and understanding that those who are hurting often hurt others. With personal anecdotes and professional insights, this episode provides a beacon of hope and support for anyone navigating the turbulent waters of addiction and grief.
Tune in for a compassionate discussion that promises to resonate with anyone affected by these issues.
