Five years after first telling her story, Randi-Lee looks back with hard-earned clarity and compassion. Addiction remains a relentless mental illness, touching lives across ages and families. Brandon was a teenager when drugs took hold, and the battle that followed reshaped everyone who loved him.In this expanded edition, Randi-Lee revisits the truths behind the eulogy, and she reflects on the boundaries she was forced to set, the heartbreak of loving from a distance, and what it truly meant to choose safety without abandoning love.More than a story of loss, this book deepens its exploration of risk factors, healthier coping strategies, and a family's grief. With added insight and reflection, this 5-year reflection offers space to forgive ourselves and those we have lost.
