🎧 Families Recover Too – Episode 4: Richard

Welcome back to Families Recover Too — a podcast by Eternal Media, giving voice to the loved ones impacted by addiction.

In this episode, Richard joins us to speak about his best friend, Carrie, who struggled with addiction up until the point she tragically took her own life.

Richard has spent most of his life on the edges of addiction, witnessing it in people close to him. Now working as a mental health counsellor, he reflects on Carrie’s story and searches for insight — what could have been done differently? What wasn’t seen in time?

This is a thought-provoking episode — exploring deep loss with honesty, curiosity, and even humour. Richard and Marcus navigate this difficult subject with compassion and connection.

💬 A deeply human conversation about loss, complexity, and the painful spaces between help and helplessness. For anyone who’s lost someone to addiction — or come close.
