I think in this stage of it I'm letting that anger be there and treating it as just another part of this, because there's still all the heartbreak too, and there is still all the joy when he sends me letters talking about all the great things he remembers from our childhood.
How do you cope when a loved one is imprisoned far from home? Kate’s story, shared on 'Making Sense of Chaos', offers a raw look into the emotional turmoil of having a brother incarcerated overseas for a drug conviction. Hosted by counsellors Jason Weel and Maddie Brygel, this episode dives deep into the complicated feelings of shame, guilt, and compassion fatigue that Kate experiences daily.
She opens up about the constant push and pull between anger, loss, and hope, providing a heartfelt narrative that many can relate to.

Her resilience shines through as she navigates these complex emotions, emphasizing the power of choice in how we react to our feelings.
