Grief and Loss in Recovery: The Pain We Carry, The Healing We Choose
Grief doesn’t always scream—it often whispers. It sneaks in through the cracks of our sobriety, our relationships, and the quiet moments when we least expect it. In this raw and real episode, host Michael Kimball, BSN—nurse, counselor, author, and survivor—dives deep into the aching reality of grief and loss in recovery.
We explore how grief can drive us to substances… and how substances, in turn, can shatter our lives with layers of loss. Through touching vignettes, lived experiences, and the five stages of grief broken down with compassion and clarity, this episode offers space to feel, to reflect, and to begin healing.
Whether you've lost a loved one, a relationship, your freedom, or even your sense of self—your pain is valid. This episode is for you.
