Cheryl Juaire's Journey: From Grief to Advocacy with TEAM SHARING
“When we take our adversity and turn it into a passion, we can make a big difference in people's lives.”
When Cheryl Juaire lost her son to substance use disorder (SUD), her world was turned upside down. In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', Cheryl opens up to Laurie McDougall about the raw and painful journey through her grief. She shares how, instead of being consumed by sorrow, she found a way to channel her pain into something meaningful. Cheryl's creation, TEAM SHARING, is a beacon of hope for families who have experienced similar losses.
This organization offers a blend of social networking, community activism, grief services, and advocacy, all aimed at providing support and friendship to grieving families. The state groups within TEAM SHARING are particularly powerful, offering a sense of belonging and understanding to parents who might otherwise feel isolated. Cheryl's story is not just one of loss but also of resilience and transformation. Her dedication to raising awareness about SUD and its impact on communities is truly inspiring.
Tune in to hear Cheryl's heartfelt narrative and learn how TEAM SHARING is making a difference in the lives of those affected by SUD.
