My Strange Addiction season 2, episode 8 showcased just how far a person will go when their grief consumes them and, in turn, they consume to subdue their grief. Casie’s husband Shawn died of a severe asthma attack in early-2011. She’s had a difficult time grieving his loss, but she isn’t coping in the healthiest of ways. In fact, Casie has resorted to eating her husband’s cremains as a source of comfort.

What initially began as a coping mechanism has transformed into a compulsion. At the time her episode was filmed, she had consumed an entire pound out of the 6 that made-up Shawn’s ashes. While the primary concern would be the fact that she’s eating cremains, Casie is more so worried about eating too much of her deceased husband. The episode is heartbreaking as well as disturbing. Casie believes that eating her husband’s ashes brings them closer together, but the emotional toll his loss has taken on her remains, and no amount of cremains can fill the void. Furthermore, she may be consuming embalming fluid that could lead her into a psychosis. As of this writing, there hasn’t been an update on where Casie is now, but hopefully her in-patient treatment has assisted in breaking her habit.
