Recoveries from both [grief and addiction] can be the same process, equally essential, one to the other.
Imagine trying to mend a broken heart while battling addiction. In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods chats with Yvonne Kaye, PH.D, a grief counselor and interfaith minister, about the intertwined paths of grief and addiction. Kaye dives into how these two heavyweights can often tag-team against us, making recovery a complex journey. She explains that grieving and addiction aren't just separate battles but are often linked, with one feeding into the other.
Without addressing the underlying grief, addiction recovery might just be a band-aid on a deeper wound. Kaye shares her wisdom on the stages of grief and how they uniquely affect each person. She also highlights the importance of self-care and the role mental health professionals play in recognizing the impact of grief on addiction recovery. The conversation touches on how grief and addiction affect families and why support groups can be a lifeline.
Kaye offers alternative ways to grieve, like celebrating a life instead of just mourning a loss. This episode is packed with practical advice and heartfelt insights, leaving listeners with a better understanding of how to navigate these challenging emotions. It's an eye-opener for anyone grappling with grief or supporting someone through addiction recovery.
