While Ellen Meyers struggled with the grief of losing her father and husband, losing her only child to an accidental drug overdose incited a new kind of internal turmoil: “I found myself obsessively trying to undo all I had ever done, desperate to create a different outcome.”
But Meyers has found a way to see the light at the end of the tunnel — through ketamine therapy, which a psychiatrist administers for several hours at a time. The drug has allowed Meyers to feel the weight of her loss a little less now. She’s discovered a new way to find hope.
Ellen Meyers has lived with the consuming grief of losing her only child for more than a decade. Ketamine therapy is helping her find some peace at last.
