A Father’s Grief: Loving Two, Losing One

In this deeply moving episode, we hear from a father whose life changed forever the day his twins were born — and one did not survive. What does it mean to hold one baby in your arms while grieving the other? How do you celebrate new life while mourning unimaginable loss? And how does grief show up differently for fathers?

Our guest shares the raw, complex emotions of becoming a parent in the shadow of loss — the joy, the guilt, the gratitude, the anger, and the silence that so often surrounds men’s grief. He opens up about navigating the hospital room, supporting his partner, and learning how to father both the child he raises and the one he carries in memory.
