In this heartfelt episode of Real Recovery Talk, host Tom Conrad is joined by Prema, a mother who has faced the unimaginable pain of losing her 20-year-old son to fentanyl poisoning. Prema candidly shares her journey through grief and how she found a sense of purpose amidst the tragedy. She discusses the emotional aftermath of her loss and how it transformed her life, leading her to create retreats in Sweden for parents who have experienced similar heartbreak.

These retreats offer a space for healing, connection, and finding joy again. Prema also talks about her involvement with Love in the Trenches (LIT), an organisation that supports parents dealing with the grief of losing a child or those with children struggling with substance use. Her story is one of resilience, love, and the power of community in overcoming life's toughest challenges.

This episode is not only a testament to the strength of the human spirit but also a reminder that even in the darkest times, there can be hope and healing. If you're seeking inspiration and support, Prema's journey offers valuable insights into turning grief into a source of strength and purpose.
