Danni's Heartfelt Journey: Grief, Writing, and Healing on The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast

Not one of us will ever be who we were before you died, but we are definitely better together.
How do you navigate the unthinkable loss of a child to addiction? In this touching episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', host Margaret Swift Thompson sits down with Danni, a mother who faced this heartbreaking reality. After losing her son Travis to addiction, Danni found solace and healing through writing. Her book, 'Shoot My Ashes From A Cannon', is a testament to her spiritual journey and the raw honesty she brings to her grief.
Alongside her friends Kate and Elda, Danni shares not just her sorrow but also her strength and resilience. She even reads a poignant letter she wrote to Travis from her closet, offering a deeply personal glimpse into her world. The conversation also touches on the invaluable support of Al-Anon, dealing with the constant fear that comes with loving someone addicted, and finding hope in community and love.
Danni's story is one of vulnerability and courage, showing that while grief may change us forever, it can also bring us closer together. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking understanding, comfort, or inspiration in their own journey through loss and recovery.
