Christina's Heartache: A Mother's Tale of Love, Loss, and Hope

I pray that One Day policies will go through and we will finally be able to get rid of this fentanyl poisoning, or at least raise awareness about it. I always do tell a story because I feel like he'd want me to give a message out, and even if it helps one person, it's more than enough.
How does a mother cope with the devastating loss of her child to addiction? In this touching episode of 'Ashes to Awesome', Chuck LaFlange sits down with Christina, who shares the heart-wrenching story of her son Peter. Battling cocaine, meth, and fentanyl addiction, Peter's struggle ended tragically, leaving Christina to navigate the painful aftermath. Through her candid recounting, Christina offers a raw look at the realities of loving someone with an addiction.
She opens up about the daily battles, the hope for recovery, and the crushing grief of losing a child. But amid the sorrow, Christina's story also carries a message of resilience and the urgent need to raise awareness about the dangers of fentanyl. Her journey underscores the importance of support systems and the profound impact they can have on those grappling with addiction.
This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the strength it takes to face such unimaginable loss and the hope that can still be found in sharing our stories.
