What she found there, along with her own independent research into the most advanced methods for treating opioid addiction, describes how the most expensive medical treatment failed to provide Giana with enough support she would be alive today. Listen in as Elise discusses with balance and insight how the medical facilities failed to treat her daughter's underlying emotional diseases and how Elise has joined her city's campaign to bring education and awareness to all about opioid addiction.
In honor of the passing of my dear friend, spiritual mentor, and poetry partner, Linda Stitt, today you are treated to a radio program recorded a few years ago.

Linda always at her best when reading her poetry, creates love, magic, laughter, and insight as easily as a robin sings. Tune in, have a taste, then take a look at her websites for more of her books, or the Amazon link to her ebook Talking to Myself. You will be glad you did.
