There is a legitimacy to grieving who my mom could have been in those years. The drug taking things from your relationship, from your experience, from her experience, from her health, and the damage that can be done that can be permanent and or the damage that can be reversed with recovery, you don't know which outcome we're going to have, which is why the onus falls back on the family member getting help for themselves.
What does it mean to love someone struggling with addiction while also caring for yourself? In this episode of 'The Embrace Family Recovery Podcast', host Margaret Swift Thompson wraps up her conversation with Glory, a Social Worker whose mother battles addiction. Glory opens up about the grief and loss tied to her mother's addiction, and how her faith helps her navigate the stormy seas of hope and fear.
She tackles the challenge of balancing her own health with the demands of caregiving, all while facing societal judgments that question her role as a daughter. Glory's story is a powerful reminder of the universal struggle many families face: How do you love and let go? She shares strategies to combat shame, stop self-blame, and find resilience.
For anyone grappling with similar issues, this episode offers a heartfelt look into the complexities of addiction, the importance of self-care, and the power of faith. Tune in for an honest, supportive discussion that promises to resonate deeply.
