In February, Etheridge opened up about the loss to PEOPLE. “It’s a nightmare so many families go through,” she said of her late son’s drug addiction. “It just eats away at good people.”
Etheridge said she felt “helpless” as she watched Beckett struggle with addiction for years.
“When you have a loved one who is battling opioid addiction, it’s horrific. You don’t know what to do. You want to help them, but ultimately they have to help themselves,” she said. “It’s a journey for anyone around the loved one. You realize the only way to help them is to take care of yourself. You can’t do anything for them; you can’t make them be sober.”
