Human connection is about not turning our faces
Grief is a heavy burden, especially when it's tied to the complexities of addiction. In this moving episode, Jacky Power sits down with Julia Warren, a mother, yoga teacher, writer, and recovering addict, to discuss the heart-wrenching experience of losing her husband Doug to a drug overdose. Julia opens up about her journey through grief, sharing her personal writings that capture the raw emotions and thoughts she faced after Doug's passing.
The conversation is candid and touching, delving into what's helpful and unhelpful during the grieving process. Julia and Jacky explore the darkest corners of grief, from the 'shittiest' parts to the unexpected moments of joy and hope that can emerge. They highlight the importance of fully surrendering to grief and the power of human connection. Sometimes, the most profound support we can offer is simply being present and saying, 'I don't know, but I'm here'.
This episode is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the healing potential of writing and community. If you're grappling with loss or supporting someone who is, Julia's story offers a beacon of understanding and hope.
