From Grief to Acceptance: Kim Manlove's Journey Through Loss

We learn in recovery that acceptance is the release of all hope for a better past. I'm one of the trunks and she's the other trunk. And that's what recovery has done for us.
How do you cope with the unimaginable pain of losing a child to addiction? Kim Manlove’s story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. After his son David tragically passed away from a drug-related incident, Kim found himself drowning in guilt and shame. Yet, rather than letting this heartbreak tear them apart, Kim and his wife leaned on each other, finding solace and acceptance together.
This episode of the Drug Stories Project podcast offers a raw, honest look at their journey through grief. Kim's narrative underscores the critical role of education and support in navigating such profound loss. He also sheds light on the hidden dangers of everyday household items like computer duster, which can be deadly when misused. For anyone grappling with similar struggles, Kim’s experience highlights the importance of support groups and counseling as lifelines in the darkest times.
This episode isn’t just about loss; it’s about finding hope and healing in the face of tragedy. Tune in to hear Kim's moving story and discover how acceptance can pave the way to recovery.
