ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What does it mean to love someone when you can't fix what they're going through?
Yvonne Heath knows that feeling personally.
Yvonne is a nurse, speaker, author and founder of Love Your Life to Death. In her book Addiction, Grief, and Joy: A Son's Struggle and a Mother's Love, she shares her family's experience of loving her eldest son through addiction.
In this deeply personal conversation, David and Yvonne talk about the impact addiction has on an entire family, why "tough love" can do more harm than good, and the helplessness of watching someone you love struggle.
Yvonne also shares the three simple words that have shaped much of her work:
Just show up.
Because sometimes there is nothing brilliant to say and nothing you can fix.
You can simply be there.
