When you're walking through a season of grief or healing from trauma, being alone can be incredibly hard — and for many teens, numbing their pain with substances seems like the only option left. In today's show, Mark sits down with two Heartlight teens, including a young lady who had lost both of her adoptive parents to a car crash, and several others who were close to her to suicide. She shares how she found herself alone in all this grief and turned to drugs, but is working hard to stay clean now. Tune in for this honest and emotional interview!
