Letting Go & Holding On: My Father’s Life, Death, & Lessons

This episode is unlike anything I’ve done before. A few weeks ago, my father crossed over. And I’ll be honest with you—this is a raw conversation. I’m still in it, still feeling it, still learning from it. But I know that grief is something we all face, and the only way to truly heal is to meet it head-on. So, I’m sharing this reflection in its rawest form, hoping it brings comfort, understanding, or even just a sense that you’re not alone if you’re navigating loss.

To help me navigate this moment, I’ve invited my dear wife, Alyson, who has been an unwavering presence for me during this transition. She’s held space for me in ways I never even knew I needed, and together, we’ll explore the layers of this experience—what it’s teaching me, how grief moves through us, and the ways we can find meaning even in the most challenging moments.

We talk through the details of my father's transition—the expectation versus reality of taking him off life support—and how my brothers and I supported each other through the process. I share the things I’m most grateful for in our relationship, the lessons we taught each other, and the memories that will leave an everlasting imprint on my heart and mind.

This isn’t just about mourning—it’s about the full spectrum of what it means to lose someone you love. The beauty, the heartbreak, the surrender, and the unexpected lessons that unfold in real time. Thanks for joining me as I celebrate and honor my father’s life, the beautiful process of death, and the wisdom we can take from it.
