Mission Statement

At Shadows of Grief, our mission is to support, encourage, and champion families walking alongside a loved one as they fight for sobriety, manage recovery, or mourn a loss. We understand that grief manifests differently for everyone and through every season. Families experience grief not only from the loss of a loved one but also from hurt relationships, separations, and unmet hopes and dreams brought on by addiction. The Shadows of Grief family is dedicated to ministering to, encouraging, and mentoring those impacted by America’s drug crisis.

If you have lost a loved one to substance abuse, my heart breaks with yours and for you. If you need to scream, yell, cry, vent, or question everything that you have ever known to be true- you are not alone.

Join The Private Group

Over the past several years of coping with and learning to live with my son’s addiction, I have grown from and drawn strength from online communities that focus on loving or praying for an addict. While these communities still and always will mean a lot to me, my needs have shifted as I am now in need of a new community where grief and growth can coexist and some purpose, passion, or vision of a new normal can surface in the shadows of loss. I invite you to join us here in the Shadows of Grief private group if you need a safe place to connect and share the hurts of life, love, and loss.
