Grief is a powerful teacher, shaping our understanding of family, legacy, and personal growth. In Turning Loss into Legacy: How Family Struggles Shape Resilience, I reflect on how grief, addiction, and recovery have played vital roles in my family's journey, particularly within the context of our Midwestern roots.
