Grief and Addiction

“Transformando el duelo” “Transforming Grief”

In this episode of Transforming Grief, we explore a deeply connected topic: Grief and addiction. We often forget that a person struggling with an addiction also faces a host of emotional and psychological losses. From loss of identity to broken relationships, this journey is devastating and requires a compassionate and skilled approach to heal.Grief doesn't just happen after the loss of a loved one; it can manifest itself when leaving an addiction behind. Facing the void left by the substance, the lack of control, and the loss of self-confidence are immense challenges. We talk about how to support those in this process and what tools can help them move forward.Do you know someone who is dealing with loss and addiction? How do you think we can offer them support without judgment? Leave your comments and experiences below.To learn more about grief and its different manifestations, I invite you to purchase my audiobook "Let me live my grief... and heal from the inside out", where I share my own experience and valuable testimonies.
