A living loss: Grieving for someone living with addiction.

This week I'm sitting down with friend, Kadie Dowen.Today's episode is something a little different. We're talking about living losses.Kadie shares with us the grief attached to the break down of her marriage due to her ex-husband living with addiction. Grief isn't only tied to death and dying and grieving for someone who is very much alive, is very real. Kadie also has the experience of having her mum die, and the comparison between the two, the pain she holds for both are very similar. She shares a truthful account of what it is like to love and lose someone by addiction. The difficulty of knowing when to walk away and how to tend to this different but valid, grief.Big love,Amber xxxFollow and be part of The Grief Gang community:Join our Patreon Unpacking Grief: patreon.com/UnpackingGriefInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thegriefgangpodcast/?hl=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/thegriefgang?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5EauthorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheGriefGangYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCpe5pGmjvqPFteN4L7T_ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thegriefgangWebsite: https://www.thegriefgang.com/Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/thegriefgang.
