In this candid and emotional episode of the Just for Today podcast, Adriana sits down with her friend Tori, whom she connected with at Camp Widow. Tori opens up about the tragic loss of her husband, Tyler, to an accidental fentanyl overdose in 2021.

Diving into the uncomfortable truths of grief and survival, this episode explores:

The Weight of Addiction: Tori discusses the heavy burden and anticipatory grief of loving an addict, and the constant fear of waiting for the worst to happen.

A Mother's Nightmare: She courageously recounts the harrowing night the police knocked on her door, and the heartbreaking reality of having to shatter her three young children's world with the news of their father's death.

Shattering the Stigma: The conversation addresses the isolation of stigmatized grief, and how Tori proactively navigates difficult, boundary-setting conversations about drugs with her kids today.

The Beautiful Chaos of Blending: Approaching the five-year mark of her loss, Tori shares her journey of marrying a fellow widower and the hard, messy work of blending a family of five children—with a new baby on the way.

Tori’s story is a profound reminder that even after years of darkness, it is entirely possible to step back into the light and experience true joy again.
