Who are you without alcohol in your life?

Can you answer that question? Does it fill you with dread to even consider it?

Charlene Lam is the Grief Coach, Speaker and Curator of The Grief Gallery.

During this interview, Patrick and Charlene bring up a conversation that not many are willing to have, understanding grief and the role it has in our lives.

It's a topic that many feel uncomfortable with and are unsure how to navigate conversations around it.
