People care and if you've lost someone to a substance, you too need to practice self-care in order to heal.
What happens when you lose someone you love to substance abuse? In this touching episode of Recovery Road, Merrit Hartblay sits down with Fiona Firine to uncover her emotional journey after losing Cameron, a young man she cared for like a son. Fiona stepped in to support Cameron after his parents passed away, but despite her love and care, he relapsed and tragically passed away. This episode is a poignant reminder that self-care is crucial for those left behind.
Fiona’s story is not just about grief; it’s about the power of healing and the importance of looking after yourself when faced with unimaginable loss. Merrit and Fiona also discuss the broader issues surrounding substance abuse, such as common misconceptions, the impact of opioid lawsuits, and the urgent need for better support systems. Fiona’s strength and resilience offer a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with similar heartbreak.
If you’ve ever lost someone to substance abuse or know someone who has, this episode offers both comfort and practical advice on navigating the road to recovery.
