Manage episode 466294104 series 3419350
From infertility struggles to adoption, and then watching her child fight cancer, Brenda Reedy’s journey has been anything but easy. Through every challenge, she faced it with unwavering dedication and resilience. But just as she thought the worst was behind her, life took another heartbreaking turn—when her son entered his teenage years, he began battling addiction.
Brenda made difficult choices, fought for his recovery, and saw glimpses of hope. But then, while she was on vacation, she received the call every parent dreads—her son had suddenly passed away.
Now, Brenda has turned her grief into purpose, dedicating herself to raising awareness about fentanyl, determined to prevent other families from experiencing the same devastating loss.
