Ep. 3: Dads Grieve Too—So Why Does No One Ask Them How They’re Doing?

When a child dies, the world rallies around the mother—but what about dads? Why do so many grieving fathers suffer in silence? In this powerful episode, I sit down with my husband, Shawn, to talk about what grief looks like from a dad’s perspective.

We’re diving into:

✅ What it was really like for him after we lost Gracie

✅ The unique challenges dads face when grieving a child

✅ How men and women often process loss differently

✅ The awkward, heartbreaking, and sometimes frustrating reality of answering the question: “How many kids do you have?”

✅ Why it’s time to change the conversation around fathers and grief

If you’ve ever wondered how dads navigate loss—or if you’re a grieving father yourself—this episode is for you. It’s raw, real, and an important reminder that grief doesn’t only have a mother’s face.
