So I wouldn't necessarily like take back all of the effort that I put in. But it's just a weird lesson in like, I don't know. I don't know what. I actually don't know.
Yeah, something my mom always would say is she'd say, tough love doesn't work. And that was – I didn't give tough love. That's not part of who I am. But to other people around her who would try and, like, enforce things. Yeah. And I really agree with that. Like, I don't think that personally, like – unless the person is really causing harm –
or is a threat to you and your safety or, you know, then it's very different in addiction. But I never withdrew love in moments of, you know, difficulty through addiction. And I really believe that, you know, I think there's a lot of like when you watch those TV shows that are like about
You know, whatever addicts and stuff and they're dragging them out of, you know, these are human beings that are in pain. Yeah. So I think that always operating from a place of empathy to me was always felt right.
Yeah. It was a really strange experience because I never was, we were never having the same experience. Like in my experience, I was always being very, I was being firm, but I was always very gentle. And to them, it was like, you're making me feel so bad. Like they took it, everything was really, was received really intensely. And it wasn't my experience.
So I think there's so much like shame around addiction that it's really hard to like have, you know, honest conversations. But I, you know, like... I don't know. It wasn't like I'm in the room, everybody's leaving me out or something. It was a slow burn too.
I really leaned on people who had had similar experiences because it felt so isolating. I had friends who had lost... loved ones in various ways. And I found that to be the most comforting because I just wanted them to tell me that I was going to be okay, you know, from someone who'd experienced it and say, like, you're going to survive this. And because in the, in the moments that,
In the moment itself, particularly losing my brother, I didn't see a way that I could. So I wanted to just talk to people who had lost a sibling, had lost someone in a sort of more shocking sort of way, like the way I lost my brother, people who had experienced suicide. I just wanted to hear just from them. But then I had an amazing group of friends around me and husband.
But it's a really isolating experience.
Yeah, I would go on. I would go on like Reddit. I would literally go on forums and go like, and just because it was such an isolating experience. Right. And like read people's experiences and like blogs. Wow. Like I DM'd with people on Instagram who DM'd me who had also lost their siblings. Like I would just talk to them and be like, did you feel this way? Did you feel this way?
Because it was so lonely.
So anyone who had experienced it, I would literally- Talk to. Talk to.
No, no, no.
I just do a Google. I'm not like deep. I don't have an account.
Yeah.
Yeah. I got into it because a friend of mine was a death doula and because of what I was just saying, how I felt like when my brother died, there were no resources and I was literally going on Reddit. Yeah. I found a community of people who worked in like the death world.
And I didn't know that that existed. And she was a death doula. And I just thought if I could make myself of use at all to people who were experiencing death.
anything like this i i would so i yeah i did my death doula training and got certified it's based it's essentially like what a birth doula is okay for dying and you're taught how to be with the dying wow person do you find like that kind of also continues to heal you while you work with other people or is it at all triggering if something is similar that they're going through that you've been through
I wouldn't say triggering. I would say you're very empathetic. It's hard to, because you've experienced something, you're very much with them emotionally because it's a shared lot, like a experience of grief. So yeah, I think it's just, it's not that I'm triggered and thinking of my own But I'm very much emotionally with the person.
energy, which was very intense. And it made me really empathize with her. It's funny. I've been doing press for years. I've been acting for a long time. And typically, it's a pretty good experience. When I went out to do press for this book, the vibe I got from certain interviewers was aggressive. Like, tell me this thing, tell me the answer to this. Why did this happen?
