Mostly, it’s about the ties that bind, and the people who are always there for us, even when you don’t expect it.
Picture this: a brother and sister racing against time, battling not just the clock but also a storm of life-changing challenges. In 'The Long Way Home' episode of 'Days Like These', ABC reporter Edwina Storey takes us on a heartfelt journey that’s equal parts touching and tumultuous. The siblings face a tough diagnosis, uncover a family secret, and navigate the added chaos of flooding rains, all while trying to make it home.
Edwina shares her deeply personal experience of watching her brother struggle with addiction, a battle made even more isolating by the pandemic. It's a raw and honest look at the frustrations and fractures that come with addiction, and the loneliness that can be magnified in times of crisis. But amid the storm, there’s a silver lining. This story is a testament to the unbreakable bonds of family and the unexpected support that can come from those we hold dear.
The episode beautifully captures the essence of long-distance love and the ties that bind us, even when life throws its toughest challenges our way. Whether you’re on your own journey to sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers a poignant reminder of the strength that comes from love and family.
