In this powerful episode, I sit down with Courtney, a mother who lost her husband to addiction. She opens up about the heartbreak of watching someone she loved struggle, the pain of his passing, and the overwhelming challenge of navigating life as a widow and single mother. We talk about the impact of addiction on families, the weight of grief, and the strength it takes to rebuild after loss. Courtney’s story is one of resilience, healing, and finding hope even in the darkest moments.
