I cannot believe that Jeffrey would trust these people, these kind of people with his life.
Imagine being married for over a decade and suddenly losing your partner to an accidental overdose. That's the heartbreaking reality Alice faced when her husband, Jeffrey, passed away in September 2017. In this episode of 'Voices of Solace', Alice opens up about her life with Jeffrey, a man who loved horses, traveled the globe, and had a flourishing career in the computer industry.
However, after losing his job and encountering financial hardships, Jeffrey fell into a depression that spiraled into addiction. Alice recounts the painful events leading up to his death, including his stint as an Uber and Lyft driver, and the harrowing experience with law enforcement during the investigation. She also touches on the rift that formed between her and Jeffrey's family following his passing.
Through her story, Alice offers a raw and honest look at the complexities of grief, the importance of trust in addiction recovery, and the coping mechanisms she relies on to navigate life without her husband. This episode is a poignant reminder of the profound impact addiction has on families and loved ones, and how one can find strength amidst unimaginable loss.
