Ep. 36 - Healing from the Loss of a Son with John Alan Reese
from The Intentional Athlete Podcast · host Ross Leppala
In this episode, my dear friend, John Alan Reese, shares with me what it has been like to lose his son to a drug overdose. It's never easy for a parent to outlive one of their kids. Most parents view that as one of the worst experiences possible. That can be even harder to cope with when that kid is taken at a younger age. John shares with us how he manages to find his path forward, raising awareness and supporting others along the way. Using his hardship as a way to create meaning, purpose and belonging in his life!
