We have to be so careful that the pieces that we're depositing in people are the right ones because we will live on in the world forever because somebody, Jamie touched somebody out there and my son has touched people and on and on it goes. Game on, sister. Right. It's happening right now.
Imagine the unimaginable: losing a child not once, but twice to gun violence. Valerie Silveira knows this pain all too well. Her daughter Jamie was first shot at the tender age of 18, and then again, tragically, at 30, leading to her death. But Valerie’s story is not one of defeat; it’s a testament to resilience and transformation.
In this gripping episode of 'The Addiction Podcast - Point of No Return', Valerie opens up about her tumultuous journey through her daughter's addiction and untimely death. She shares how she turned her grief into a mission of helping others overcome their own traumas.

Valerie's candid conversation touches on the raw emotions of guilt and helplessness that many parents feel when dealing with a child's addiction. She explains how she moved from trying to 'fix' her daughter to accepting what she couldn't change, ultimately finding a path to healing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with addiction in their family, offering a beacon of hope and practical advice for turning pain into power.
