The support, the fellowship, the love that I found in those rooms compelled me to stay long enough to really admit that I had a problem and through staying sober, our beautiful daughter Tara came into the world.
Grief and recovery often walk hand in hand, and this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast' brings that relationship into sharp focus. Host Neil Scott sits down with psychotherapist and author Lily Dulan, and addiction professor emeritus Dr. Thomas McGovern, for a heartfelt discussion on finding meaning in grief and the journey to sobriety.
Lily, who lost her daughter to SIDS while newly sober, opens up about how the support she found in recovery helped her stay strong and eventually welcome her daughter Tara into the world. Her story is a testament to the power of community and connection in overcoming life's toughest challenges. Dr. McGovern adds his expertise on dual diagnosis treatment, highlighting how addressing both mental health and addiction is crucial for successful recovery.
The conversation also touches on the role of affirmations, meditation, and mindfulness in daily life, offering practical tips for finding inner peace. Actress Julie Harris shares her personal thoughts on prayer, adding another layer of depth to the discussion. The episode wraps up with Lily introducing the Cara Love Project, a foundation created in her daughter's memory to support those who are grieving.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complexities of grief and recovery, offering hope, practical advice, and heartfelt stories.
