Just because he had a struggle and a disease doesn't mean that he's in hell.
Kevin's battle with addiction was a long and heartbreaking journey, ending tragically at the age of 41. In this deeply moving episode of 'Voices of Solace', Kevin's sister, Sherry, opens up about their shared experiences and the bond they formed through childhood trauma. From a young age, Kevin took on the role of protector, shielding Sherry from the abuse they endured.
As he grew older, Kevin turned to marijuana to numb his pain, which eventually led to a struggle with harder substances. Sherry's candid recollections provide a raw and honest look at the challenges they faced together. She speaks passionately about the importance of kindness and understanding towards those battling addiction, urging listeners to break the stigma that often surrounds it.
Sherry also touches on broader issues like addiction's impact on employment, the significance of good Samaritan laws, and how families can support their loved ones in recovery. Her story is not just about loss; it's about resilience, love, and the enduring connection between siblings. This episode offers a heartfelt tribute to Kevin's life and a powerful message about compassion and support for those affected by addiction.
