Giving In

In this episode, we discuss the benefits of "giving in." Giving in to how we feel. Giving in to the moment. Letting go of the need to get things done.Sometimes, after trauma, we go through a process of redefining what's important in our lives. Our goals are reduced. What it means to accomplish something has a different definition. We have found that focusing on the present moment is helpful. Everyday tasks can become meditative. We experience the moment.

The Power of Writing It Down

Neither of us is a journaler, although DeAnne recently bought a journal with good intentions. What we can attest to, though, is the power of spontaneous writing exercises to help us understand and see ourselves in different ways. DeAnne discusses her first experience with a writing prompt, a tool many counselors use to help the ones they work with move forward on their healing journeys. Astrid also has experience with writing prompts, and ended up writing about her experience in a differ...

Why Aren't We Divorced?

Kevin and Astrid continue their conversation while DeAnne is away. Kevin talks about the different ways he deals with grief, which doesn't currently include therapy. Why is that and what does he do in its place? We talk about our current relationship and why we chose to not separate or get a divorce.

Does Your Mother Know Where You Are?

DeAnne and Astrid discuss an interview Astrid watched with a mother whose son committed suicide. It prompted them to touch on whether their own children's deaths were accidental, or not. How do you know if an overdose death was accidental? Does it matter? Does it change the loss?We discuss how we react now when we see signs of hardship. How we relate to others and how others relate to us, after loss. Astrid recently had an encounter with someone, after which she wanted to say, "Does your moth...

Let's Talk Gabor Maté

Gabor Maté is a Canadian physician and addiction expert. (In our conversation I called him a psychologist - sorry.) In this episode we discuss his book, The Myth of Normal, and what we took away from it. One of DeAnne's biggest impressions from the book was the idea that the body often expresses unaddressed trauma in the form of disease. Astrid's biggest takeaway was that we all carry trauma, and we need to address it before we unintentionally pass it down to our children and the society...

The List

Here we visit The List - topics that have come up for us in our grief journeys that we feel would be worth discussion. What's on the list? What are the things we have faced or continue to face in the process of coming to terms with a death by overdose? We take a look.

My son Adam

This podcast is a life saver, now I know I am not alone in navigating this journey I wish none of us ever had to experience. I am going into year three of my son’s death and now I have some tools that I believe will help. Thank you so much.

I find the personal accounts about losing a child to an overdose from Deanne and Astrid to be very helpful to me after losing my son. They share many feelings and emotions that I have experienced and help me to know that I’m not alone.
Thank you for doing this!

This podcast is truly valuable. Excellent advice. Thank you for your candid, and at times entertaining, discussion. I just listened to your conversation about responsibility and was reminded of the phrase “as parents we take too much credit and too much blame for our children”. Thank you for sharing your experience and for being so vulnerable.

Cruise's mom

This! It’s been just over two years since my son Cruise died and how I could have used this podcast that first year. I relish each conversation and nod along to the thoughts and feelings you share. Thank you and please keep going!
