The Space Between Breaths
What We Carry When the Air Runs Out
Addict. Asthmatic. Smoker. Son.
This is the story of a family's 11,045 day journey through love, addiction, loss, and faith.
Between every inhale and exhale, life unfolds. A child is born. A family grows. Dreams are chased, mistakes are made, and hope rises and falls. For families living with addiction, every breath can carry a different emotion; fear, anger, sorrow, exhaustion, determination, and sometimes even relief.
Because when you love someone trapped by addiction, the fear of losing them is never far away.
The Space Between Breaths follows one son's descent into addiction and one mother's relentless effort to save him. Through the peaks and valleys, the setbacks and small victories, this is a story of a family learning to survive the unimaginable while holding tightly to faith, love, and each other.
From a first breath to a final one, it is the space between that tells the story.
