In this heartfelt episode, Peyton sits down with Michael Cason to discuss his journey through fatherhood, faith, and grief after the stillbirth of his son, Reagan. Michael opens up about the often-overlooked grief that fathers experience, the challenges of navigating loss while supporting a grieving spouse, and the role of faith in his healing journey. He also shares practical insights on the importance of community, healthy outlets for processing grief, and how he honors Reagan’s memory.
Michael serves as a pastor at Grace Community Church in Sarasota, FL, where he helps others grow in their faith while walking through life’s challenges.
This is Part 1 of our conversation with the Cason family—be sure to tune in for Part 2, where we sit down with Mariah to hear her perspective on motherhood after loss, carrying both sorrow and joy, and the healing power of connection.
