In this week's highlight episode, host Julie Craig has put together a series of vignettes from last week's episode with Colleen Clifford.

Good Grief Believer is a podcast, where I hope you’ll discover the power of belonging to a group, that not only comprehends the depth of your grief, but where you’ll find comfort in our collective wisdom.

Each week I’ll interview groups or individuals who have discovered what it means to grieve well, and how to help others along their own healing journey.

**Content Warning:** This episode includes explicit discussions of alcohol abuse, binge drinking, and suicide. Listener discretion is advised, especially for those who may find these topics distressing.

In this heartfelt episode of the Good Grief Believer podcast, host Julie Craig welcomes Colleen Clifford, commercial fisherwoman, author, and former binge drinker, to discuss grief, alcohol misuse, shame, and the journey toward healing. Colleen's book, Life Beyond the Binge: A Commercial Fisherwoman's Journey Home, shares lessons from a life shaped by difficult experiences, profound loss, and the courage to begin again.

After losing her husband, Scott, to alcohol-related suicide, Colleen had to navigate a complicated grieving process while also examining her own relationship with alcohol. Through honest reflection, she discovered how unresolved shame had influenced many of her choices and how binge drinking had become a way to cope with pain she had carried for decades.
