On the day of his viewing, Jessica discovered she was pregnant, carrying what she calls her final gift from him, their baby boy and his namesake. She shares what it was like to navigate pregnancy and motherhood in the midst of grief, and how the strength of her community and her love for her son helped her keep going. Jessica’s story is one of heartbreak, hope, and resilience, a powerful reminder of the families left behind in the wake of the fentanyl epidemic.

This episode sheds light on the ongoing fentanyl crisis and honors the strength it takes to rebuild after unimaginable loss. Tune in to hear Jessica’s journey of finding purpose through pain and carrying on the legacy of the one she loved.
