S8 Ep 5 - Grieving Fathers: Overcoming the Stigma of Internalizing Pain

In this episode, host Beverly Taylor invites Kevin Tarkington, the founder of Fearless Fathers, as a special guest to talk about grieving fathers who have lost children. Beverly and Kevin touched on the fact that fathers tend to be overlooked in the equation of losing a child, as they are expected to be strong and hold back their feelings.

This can lead to men internalizing their emotions, making it difficult for them to express themselves during times of grief. This episode highlights the importance of acknowledging fathers' pain and allowing them the space and support to grieve.
